Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaelach Kilranelagh #1 Tree No.1 57% Irish Whiskey
| Description: | The Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaelach Kilranelagh Wood Tree No. 1 introduces an exceptional chapter in the celebrated Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaelach series. This prestigious release marries the singular excellence of Midleton Very Rare with the luxurious essence of Irish oak, showcasing a pinnacle achievement in Irish whiskey. Origin and Craftsmanship: Sourced from the historic Kilranelagh Estate in County Wicklow, renowned for its meticulously managed native Irish woodland by the Westerholt family, this edition pays homage to the natural beauty and heritage of Ireland. The selection of Irish oak for maturation marks a tribute to sustainable woodland management and the desire to preserve the legacy of these magnificent trees. Masterful Maturation: Under the watchful eye of Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman and Blender David McCabe, this whiskey has undergone a careful aging process in virgin Irish oak casks, sourced from the Kilranelagh Estate. The chosen casks, crafted from six distinct Irish oak trees, encapsulate a blend of Single Pot Still whiskeys aged between fifteen to twenty-eight years, initially matured in American oak barrels. The meticulous process and two-year maturation in Irish oak have culminated in a whiskey that perfectly balances tradition and innovation. Tasting Experience: Nose: A verdant forest bouquet of fresh pine, intertwined with floral honey and a hint of ground pepper, unfolds into a medley of sweet tropical fruits, herbal green tea, and freshly mown hay. Smoked almonds, sweet vanilla, and cinnamon emerge, enriched by the savory pot still spices. Taste: A vibrant explosion of dried chilli flakes and red bell peppers evolves into softer, sweeter notes of candied orange and crisp red apple. Vanilla and cinnamon from the oak weave through the hearty pot still spices, creating a rich, full-bodied profile. Finish: The finish is remarkably enduring, allowing the pot still spices and oak nuances to resonate, embodying the essence of Irish whiskey craftsmanship. |
