Midleton Very Rare Barry Crockett Legacy Irish Whiskey (Old Bottling)
Out of stock
Bearing the name of the celebrated second generation Midleton Master Distiller, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy represents a selection of pot still whiskeys which have been matured exclusively in American bourbon barrels with a subtle contribution from a pot still distillate which has matured in an unseasoned American barrel.
This pinnacle of the Single Pot Still range, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy, marked the first time since John Jameson that an Irish Distillers product had been named after a Master Distiller. Single Pot Still whiskey is unique to Ireland in general and to the Midleton Distillery, Co. Cork, in particular, and is regarded as the quintessential style of Irish whiskey. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills, Pot Still whiskeys are characterised by full, complex flavours and a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant golden-amber with honeyed warmth and coppery glints, edged by a touch of mahogany at the rim.
Nose
Creamy vanilla and honeyed oak mingle with orchard fruit and almond. Subtle toffee and citrus zest add lift, while a delicate pot-still perfume threads through warm spice, cinnamon and nutmeg, yielding a polished, inviting aroma.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied palate with a creamy custard texture. Vanilla, toffee and orchard fruit mingle with toasted oak and honey. Subtle spice—white pepper, clove and cinnamon—drifts through, aided by bourbon-barrel sweetness and a whisper of coconut. Long, balanced finish with malt, caramel and a refined pot-still elegance.
Finish
Silky, long finish with caramelized vanilla and toasted oak that caress the senses. Creamy pot-still richness threads through, while delicate spice – nutmeg and white pepper – lingers against a suave sweetness, fading to a warm, refined glow.
