Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey (2013 Release)

A subtle and initially mysterious nose evolves into complexity with hints of vanilla cream, spicy cinnamon apples, and confectionary notes. Dried fruit, nutmeg, applesauce, ginger, and a touch of pencil shavings emerge, along with a comforting aroma of buttered toast. The palate is oily and creamy, offering a delightful blend of sweet fruit cocktail, baked apples, and a savory undertone with a touch of citrus sourness. The finish is long and full, a lingering reprise of the taste that leaves a lasting impression.
