Celebrate four decades of excellence with the Midleton Very Rare 2024 Vintage Release - the 2024 instalment in Ireland's most prestigious annual whiskey series. Crafted under the discerning eye of Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman, this edition blends selected pot-still and grain spirits aged between 12 and 33 years, matured in carefully chosen American oak barrels to ensure a profile both sophisticated and timeless.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Warm golden amber with polished clarity - a visual promise of its rich maturation and premium pedigree.
Nose:
Inviting and multi-layered. Begin with luscious vanilla and subtle florals, intertwining with ripe orchard fruits like sweet pear and crisp apple. The signature pot-still spice adds warming cinnamon and clove, complemented by soft toffee and honeyed depth.
Palate:
Smooth and sumptuous, with tropical peach and nectarine leading the way. Richer elements of crème brûlée, toffee-apple and chocolate-dipped honeycomb emerge, underpinned by gently charred American oak and softly spiced pot-still grain. The texture is silky and elegant.
Finish:
Refined and enduring. The oak and fruit-bearing spirit merge into a lingering, graceful close where warm vanilla, soft spice and subtle floral echoes fade slowly.
Serving Suggestion
Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass to appreciate its full aromatic spectrum. Pair with premium dark chocolate, walnut-rich desserts, or a selection of mature Irish cheeses to enhance its sweet-spice profile and creamy texture.
Midleton Very Rare 2024 Vintage Release stands as a landmark expression in Irish whiskey - combining artistry, tradition and rarity in every sip. A distinguished addition to any collection or a memorable gift for the whiskey aficionado.
