Very Rare 2012 Irish Whiskey 70cl

Created in 1984 and released annually since then, Midleton Very Rare is one of the most exclusive and sought after Irish whiskeys. Once a year our Master Distiller hand selects only the finest and rarest whiskeys available to him and then carefully blends them to create each annual vintage of Midleton Very Rare Vintage Release. Only a limited number of bottles of this unique Irish whiskey vintage are released each year. Nose: Typical rich Pot Still spices, mild with succulent green fruits, some gooseberry, granny smith apples and a touch of blackcurrant leaf. Well balanced with vanilla and toasted oak, a contribution from top quality ex bourbon barrels. Palate: The aromatic spices explode on the taste buds, giving a rich yet mellow flavour. A hint of cinnamon combines with vanilla to give a sweetness which is only enhanced by some apple and ripe banana. Oak and barley are the consistent foundation. Finish: Long and steady. The sweeter notes of the pot still character, the wood and the barley remain to the end.
