Tasting notes from the producer

You have discovered something truly exceptional here! The Midleton Very Rare 2024 Vintage Release celebrates 40 years of whiskey mastery, crafted with care by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman. Aged in the finest oak barrels, this whiskey is a rare and luxurious collector’s piece. 

Nose: Richly scented vanilla with delightful floral and herbal notes to the fore, while aromas of orchard fruits gently build over time, adding ripe apple and sweet pear. The pot still spices, complemented by the nuanced American oak, add warming notes of cinnamon, clove and freshly mown hay that mingle with the delectable notes of toffee and heather honey.

Taste: Silky smooth and luscious at first with mouth-watering tropical fruit notes of peach and nectarine, combining effortlessly with the decadent tastes of crème brûlée, toffee-apple and chocolate dipped honeycomb. The delicate floral grain qualities and full-bodied pot still spices combine seamlessly with the charred oak influences, showcasing a wonderfully balanced yet complex and elegant whiskey.

Finish: Lasting finish which sees the fruits and American oak continue to softly linger until the very end.
