Midleton Dair Ghaelach Bluebell Forest Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
The town of Midleton or Mainistir na Corann (Monastery at the Weir) was established in 1180 and is situated midway between Cork City and Youghal Town. The history of Midleton Distillery stretches to 1796 when the main buildings and water wheel were built for the purpose of a woolen mill. The woolen mill enterprise was short-lived and the buildings were sold to the British government who adapted the complex to a military barracks during the Napoleonic Wars of 1803-1815. During this period, the now Distiller’s Cottage was home to the senior British Army staff who occupied the site. Following the departure of the British Army troops, the site was purchased by James Murphy who commenced his distilling business and, in 1825, the first spirit was distilled at the Midleton Distillery. Today, Midleton Distillery marries together time-honored, traditional distillation techniques with modern equipment to produce some of the finest whiskey in all of Ireland.
Tasting Notes
Aroma of tropical fruits, vanilla, cinnamon, oak and coconut. The palate, rich with honey, Irish cream, orange peel and white chocolate, leads to a remarkable finish filled with caramel, rice pudding, liquorice and ginger.
