Midleton Very Rare Forêt de Tronçais, 48%

Sweet, dry, and oaky, this needs time to reveal its delectable aromatic offerings of candied orange dipped in honey, vanilla, dried pear, whipped cream, cumin, cinnamon bark, sanded oak, and hazelnut shells. A silky mouthfeel with subtle kaleidoscopic shifts between honeyed oak, vanilla, fudge, peppermint, ground hazelnut, dried apple, waxy honeycomb, almond, chocolate pudding, and gentle oak spices. The intricate textural sweetness and oaky tones make this a formidable dram.
