Midleton Very Rare 40th Anniversary Ruby Irish Whiskey

Colour

Rich ruby red with a luminous garnet core and coppery amber edges.

Nose

Opulent nose of ripe red berries and plum, lifted by ruby port sweetness. Caramelized vanilla and toffee mingle with dried fruit, while warm spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—dances over refined oak, with a subtle cocoa echo completing the perfume.

Palate

Silky and opulent on the palate, a velvet flood of ruby-fruit richness from the port finish. Ripe cherry and fig mingle with toasted toffee and dark chocolate, while vanilla and oak weave a seamless sweetness. Spices—cinnamon, clove, a kiss of ginger—emerge with refined heat, delivering a long finish that lingers with red fruit, cocoa, and a hint of savory oak.

Finish

Silky, ruby-port driven finish, with ripe cherry and plum notes and a hint of raspberry, woven through velvety spice and toasted oak, then fading to a warm, cacao-kissed glow.
