Midleton "Barry Crockett Legacy" Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Released in 2011, Midleton's Barry Crockett edition was named after the distillery's master distiller, and it is aged in both bourbon and new American oak barrels! As a tribute to the man who is inextricably linked to the Midleton distillery and has, more than anyone, shaped the renowned Midleton style, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy displays a distinctive Pot Still complexity yet is refined and poised on the finish. Very interesting indeed, and a limited release of around 2,500 bottles per year.

Aroma: Elegant aroma of vanilla and toasted oak, complemented by a touch of lime, succulent green berries, pears, and green sweet pepper.
Taste: Light pepper carries onto fresh citrus, limes, and mandarin orange sweetness. A hint of cinnamon with vanilla and oak reveals its years spent in American oak.
Finish: The full spectrum of flavours lasts well into the finish, slowly fading to expose the clean American oak foundation.

Serve this elegant whiskey alongside a heavily seared scallop risotto. The buttery, rich shellfish flawlessly tames the bright orchard fruit notes. For a sophisticated dessert, a warm slice of spiced apple cake works absolute wonders. The baked pastry brilliantly locks into the spirit's inherent vanilla and cinnamon undertones.
