€450.00
A World-First Innovation. Immerse yourself in the story of Midleton Very Rare Irish Chestnut Edition, a world-first Irish whiskey finished in Irish sweet chestnut hogshead casks, crafted from wood sourced at the historic Cappoquin Estate in Country Waterford. Nearly a decade in the making, this exceptionally rare release celebrates Irish nature, craft and provenance, while pushing the boundaries of Irish whiskey through innovation guided by tradition. Bottled at natural cask strength and non-chill filtered, it has an age profile of 17 to 24 years.
Nose:
Decadent aromas of honey-drizzled red apple and caramelised orange peel. Luscious tones of smooth, melted chocolate and toffee fudge are harmoniously balanced by the heightened woodland spices including nutmeg, cinnamon and sandalwood. The rich and nutty undertones further accentuate the savoury nature of this wonderfully complex whiskey.
Taste:
Sweet orchard fruits with subtle hints of citrus are closely followed by generous waves of vanilla, chocolate shavings and soft wood tannins, complementing the pot still spices and delicate herbs. The spices continue to build with notes of freshly crushed pepper and a mild prickle of chilli oil, while carefully balanced by the textured and full-bodied character of this aged pot still whiskey.
Finish:
Lasting finish which sees the fruits slowly fading, leaving the pot still spices and chestnut wood have the final say.
Alcohol Vol: 56.1%
