Midleton Very Rare Barry Crockett Legacy Whiskey A true masterpiece of Irish whiskey. This is a refined and elegant tribute to one of Ireland’s most celebrated master distillers. First released in 2011, it is named after Barry Crockett, the man who played a pivotal role in shaping Midleton’s legacy. Crafted in limited quantities - approximately 2,500 bottles per year, this rare expression is matured in a combination of seasoned bourbon barrels and new American oak casks. The result is a sophisticated and layered whiskey that embodies the very essence of Midleton’s artistry. The elegant duck-egg blue colour pays homage to the tradition of marking first-fill casks at the Midleton Distillery. While embossed symbols - the letter "B" for Barry Crockett, a key for legacy, and an orchid as the Midleton Very Rare brand emblem - add a meaningful touch. • A refined nose with elegant aromas of vanilla and toasted oak, complemented by hints of lime, green berries, pears, and sweet green pepper. • The palate opens with a light pepper spice, transitioning into fresh citrus notes, including limes and mandarin oranges. • A subtle warmth of cinnamon blends seamlessly with rich vanilla and oak, showcasing the depth of its time in American oak casks. • The finish is long and evolving, slowly fading to reveal a clean and beautifully structured oak foundation. This rare whiskey is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to unlock its full complexity. It complements delicate flavours such as smoked salmon, seared scallops, or creamy goat cheese. For those who enjoy sweet pairings, a fine white chocolate or a citrus-infused dessert enhances its bright fruit notes beautifully.
