Tasting Notes
Midleton Very Rare 2021 is a masterpiece of Irish whiskey craftsmanship. Upon pouring, it unveils a delightful bouquet of floral notes intertwined with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans and the sweetness of salted caramel and honeycomb. As you savor the first sip, a burst of baked orchard fruits greets your palate, accompanied by zesty hints of lime and kiwi. The mild pot still spices gradually build up, introducing waves of vanilla, rich coffee liqueur, and cocoa powder. The texture is initially round and full, but as it lingers, wood spices emerge, adding a delicate touch of clove oil and nutmeg, creating a balanced interplay of sweetness and mild heat. The finish is long-lasting, with the pot still spices and soft fruits gradually fading, leaving the oak to take center stage, showcasing the whiskey's years of careful maturation.
