History,
DAIR GHAELACH GRINSELL’S WOOD
The Irish Oak casks are filled with a select range of 15 to 22 year old Single Pot Still distillates. Nosed and tasted every month by our Master Blender, Billy Leighton, and by then Master of Maturation, Kevin O’Gorman, after almost a year, Midleton Dair Ghaelach was judged to be beautifully balanced; subtly yet unmistakably flavoured to perfection by the Irish oak that gives it its name. In the history of Irish whiskey, Midleton Dair Ghaelach is one of a kind. The first Irish whiskey to be matured in home-grown Irish oak, it’s as individual as it is irresistible; a whiskey as satisfyingly Irish as it is undeniably elegant.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: The crisp Pot Still spices are seamlessly enriched by the woodland fragrances of the Irish Oak. Sweet vanilla notes are given depth by some chocolate honeycomb and coffee beans, whilst the balancing rich fruit aromas of red berries, pineapple and ripe banana compliment the subtle aromatic oils.
Palate: The typical Pot Still spices are fortified by the Irish Oak character. Robust yet mellow, clove and cinnamon give way to dairy fudge and milk chocolate sweetness combining with a touch of stewed apple.
Finish: An exceptionally long finish, with some sweet spices slowly fading, leaving the final bow to the Irish Oak.
