Tasting notes
One of the great deliveries of the year. Absolutely abounds in pot still character, both being hard as nails and soft as a virgin’s kiss. Something of a once in a lifetime experience. Just long, gorgeously silky and soft and a delicious furtherance of the spellbinding flavour compounds of before… for heaven’s sake. This is just too ridiculously beautiful…and so unmistakably Irish for all the virgin oak. Truly world class

Virgin Irish oak-finished Midleton single pot still whiskeys aged from 15 to 22 years take pot still into exciting new territory. The native pot still spiciness is enveloped by chocolate-covered honeycomb, toasty oak, spotty bananas, and a barista's coffee scoop, though a dash of water picks out lemongrass and rubbed mint. A silky smooth mouthfeel of succulent fruits is shaken down with cocoa powder. Black currant squares up as heavy pot incarnate. Clove-spiked stewed apple weighs into a lengthy finish.
