Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaelach is a range of Single Pot Still Irish whiskeys from the Midleton Distillery meaning, quite simply, Irish Oak. This Single Pot Still Irish whiskey was matured initially in American Oak Bourbon barrels for between 15 and 28 years. 

The maturing whiskey was then finished in virgin native Irish Oak Hogshead casks grown on the Knockrath Estate for a period of two years. Specificallly, from a single tree - 'Tree No.5' from the Knockrath Estate.

AROMA Pot still spices are accentuated by the Irish oak contribution, adding waves of toasted wood with hints of vanilla and roasted coffee, layered over fresh fruit which evolves from orchard fruits to tropical notes.

TASTE Classic pot still spices give a luscious texture to the fore, while the influence of the Irish oak adds a medley of sweet notes including chocolate and honeycomb.

FINISH Remarkably long finish with fruit and spices fading to allow the Irish Oak have the final say.
