Tasting Notes

Nose

Opens with an intricate medley of nectarines, ripe melon, green apple and apricot, supported by pot-still spices—freshly peeled ginger and crushed peppercorns. Aged grain offers perfumed dried flowers and golden syrup, while the oak steps forward with vanilla, honeycomb sweetness and a trace of freshly roasted coffee beans.

Palate

Luscious at first with succulent fruits and a distinctive creaminess along with a herbal quality akin to camomile tea. The pot still spices add depth and intrigue as they weave amongst the floral grain qualities found lingering throughout. The charred oak’s influence continues to build over time creating additional complexity as the wood-derived spices complement the ever-present fruits of candied orange and dried apricot.

Finish

The fruits and pot still spices build to a crescendo before giving way, leaving the final say to the oak tannins and antique grain whiskey.

Midleton
Midleton traces its story at the site in County Cork to 1825, when the distillery was acquired by the Murphy family, later becoming part of the Cork Distilleries Company. A major turning point came in 1966, when Cork Distilleries Company merged with John Power & Son and John Jameson & Son to form Irish Distillers, and in 1975 the new Midleton Distillery opened beside the old site, bringing Irish whiskey production from Dublin to Cork.
