Midleton Silent Distillery 49 YO

Midleton Very Rare, renowned as the pinnacle of Irish Whiskey, proudly unveils the fifth chapter in its Silent Distillery Collection. Nose: Delicate hints of fruit at first, with peach, apricot, and dates to the fore. Notes of sugar glazed almonds, worn leather and antique wood add to the complexity.
Taste: Opens with a vibrant medley of stone and citrus fruits, enhanced by the pot still whiskey’s luscious and silk-coating texture. The oak’s tannins slowly build, adding notes of herbal tea and dark chocolate.
Finish: A lingering finish in which decades of ageing has developed intense and rich flavours, leaving the pot still spices and fruits to have the final say as the oak slowly fades.
