Midleton Very Rare - 2018
The Midleton Very Rare Vintage Release 2018 is a highly esteemed expression in the prestigious Midleton Very Rare series, which has been released annually since 1984. This particular vintage showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and expertise of Midleton's master distillers. The 2018 release was carefully crafted by Master Distiller Brian Nation, who selected a blend of rare and hand-picked single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys. These whiskeys were matured in lightly charred ex-bourbon American oak barrels for between 12 and 28 years, creating a complex and beautifully balanced spirit. On the nose, this vintage offers a bouquet of ripe fruits such as tangerine, apricot, and cantaloupe melon, complemented by notes of vanilla sweetness and a touch of cinnamon and clove spice. The palate presents a harmonious blend of fruit flavors, including green apple and pear, alongside creamy vanilla and toasted oak. There's also a subtle hint of black pepper, adding depth to the overall profile. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet spices and toasted oak. Bottled at 40% ABV, this whiskey offers a smooth and refined drinking experience that exemplifies the quality associated with the Midleton Very Rare name. As with all Midleton Very Rare releases, the 2018 vintage is presented in an elegant bottle within a wooden gift box, making it a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts of fine Irish whiskey. Each bottle is individually numbered and signed by the Master Distiller, adding to its exclusivity and collectible appeal.
