Midleton Very Rare Vintage 2021
Chosen from the most exceptional quality single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys laid down over the past four decades in Midleton, Co Cork, Midleton Very Rare 2021 is aged from 13 to 35 years in lightly charred ex-bourbon American oak barrels. Kevin O'Gorman selected a high pot still inclusion at 83%, as well as a notable contribution from third fill casks. The result is a luxurious and balanced whiskey with rich pot still connotations, where the distillate takes centre stage thanks to the use of refilled casks- a fitting legacy for one of Irish whiskey's great Master Distillers.

Nose: A delicate introduction of Sweet Mandarin Orange Citrus with Green Banana and Vanilla. The light Herbal notes develop until the typical Pot Still Spices, including Cardamom, Nutmeg and Peppers, show the signature Midleton style. Whilst a touch of Cedarwood and Charred American Oak add to the complexity.
Palate: The smooth initial mouthcoating is initially sweet with Vanilla and red Apple, before the more robust spices, Cinnamon and Clove with a slice of Root Ginger, show their presence. There is a polished Antique Wood contribution from the Barrels alongside some light Tannins and Charred Oak.
Finish: The finish is extra long as the spices subside giving way to Green Fruit and Stalks of Barley.

Jameson Irish Whiskey
Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish whiskey. What's that we hear you say? Well, first we take the best of pot still and fine grain whiskeys. Then we triple distill them - not because we have to, because we want to, as it gives the whiskey its signature smoothness. Finally, we age them in oak casks for a minimum of 4 years.
