Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaelach Knockrath Forest

Midleton Very Rare is a brand under which the New Midleton Distillery from the East Cork town of Midleton produces its premium Irish whiskeys. The New Midleton Distillery started its operations in 1975, consolidating in one place the production of Irish Distillers Group, which was founded in 1966 through the merger of John Power & Son, John Jameson & Son and the Cork Distilleries Company (which owned the Old Midleton distillery). The distillery is best known for making the famous Jameson Whiskey, but also produces other well-known brands, such as Powers, Paddy and Redbreast. Midleton Very Rare was created in 1984 by Master Distiller Barry Crockett, who guided the New Midleton Distillery on its journey of creating the finest whiskeys in the world for over 30 years. Upon retiring in 2013, he passed the baton to his mentee Brian Nation, who continued to create special and unique whiskey across the Midleton Very Rare portfolio. Midleton Dair Ghaelach is a series of the distillery’s Irish pot still whiskeys matured in traditional bourbon barrels, and finished in Irish oak.

Tasting Notes

The Irish oak accentuates pot still spices on the nose, which also has hints of vanilla and roasted coffee, layered over fresh fruit evolving from orchard fruits to tropical notes. Pot still spices remain at the fore on the palate, accompanied by sweet notes, such as chocolate and honeycomb, coming from the Irish oak. The finish is long, with fading fruit and spices.
