Midleton Very Rare Vintage Release 2020 750ml

Discover the exquisite Midleton Very Rare Vintage Release 2020, a masterpiece crafted for the discerning whiskey connoisseur. This 37th edition marks a significant milestone, as it is the final creation by the renowned Master Distiller, Brian Nation. Hand-selected from Midleton Distillery’s finest inventory, this limited-edition whiskey is a true testament to the art of distillation.

Midleton Very Rare  2020 is a blend of the most exceptional single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys, aged between 13 to 35 years in lightly charred ex-bourbon American oak barrels. Brian Nation's expert touch is evident in the higher pot still inclusion and the increased use of refill barrels, resulting in a luxurious and balanced whiskey. The rich pot still notes and elegant grain distillates shine through, offering a fitting legacy for one of the great Master Distillers.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Experience the top notes of cane sugar and vanilla, intertwined with pepper and nutmeg spices. Sweet orchard fruits and white chocolate fudge add layers over polished antique wood notes.
• Taste: Enjoy an initial burst of tangy fruit sweetness with orange peel and sweet pear, complemented by pot still spices and a mild prickle of chili oil. The charred oak provides a constant background balance.
• Finish: A satisfyingly long finish where fruits slowly fade, allowing oak and spices to linger.
