Midleton Distillery, in the town of Midleton, East Cork, Ireland, set out to craft a limited edition offering to honor their long serving Master Distillery, Barry Crockett. They also wanted to set this offering on the top of the new 'Single Pot Still' lineup from their distillery. So who did they ask to take on this formidable task? Barry Crockett himself. Not only was Barry raised and tutored his whole life at the distillery-- where his father Max was master distiller-- he was born there in the cottage on the distillery grounds! He has Midelton in his blood!. The Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy edition contains 3 levels of pure pot still whiskies: light, medium and heavy pot still and it is aged in both used bourbon and new American oak barrels (something new for the Midelton brand) with an intended limited release of 2,500 (+/-) bottles per year. The nose presents mellow, dulcet barley, honey, under-ripe peach, rosemary, tropical fruits, toffee, citrus, grass/straw and apples. The palate follows the nose accenting the ampler flavors like tobacco, honey, cedar, fruits, treacle, honey comb, vanilla, pear drops, maple and candied citrus. The finish is supple restating the flavors with a touch of spice and fading with delicate candied tones. This is intricate, complex, daedal and lingering whiskey. Try it neat or with a splash of cool water and enough time to take in all of its glory.
