#Midleton dair ghaelach knockrath forest series
Tree 6 of the Knockrath Forest series from Midleton is one of the bolder expressions in the series – and yet it’s also one of the better balanced. Aromas of ginger, white pepper, vanilla, roasted coffee beans, apples and pears fill the nose, complemented by notes of sweet oak spice, milk. Interesting.įinish: Very long with mentholated oak sitting with still perky peppery spicing and charred fruits. Part of Midletons Virgin Irish Oak Collection, Tree 5 has been matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and specially-made Irish oak casks from Knockrath Estate in County Wicklow. Reduction expresses barley water and dusty oak, but with less spice along for the ride in the mid-palate, and more of it pushed to the back. The native Irish oak has interacted with the maturing whiskey to impart a complex medley of fruits and delicate spices. The third release is still a single pot still whiskey that was initially aged in bourbon casks for 13 to 26 years, then finished for 2 additional years in barrels made from virgin oak sourced from. Midleton continues its rare releases focusing on aging in barrels made from a single tree. The progressive moves into building pepperiness before vanilla cream and chocolate provide some late match sweetness to offset the tingle of the spicing. This Single Pot Still Irish whiskey was matured initially in American Oak Bourbon barrels and finished in virgin native Irish Oak Hogshead casks grown on the Knockrath Estate. Review: Midleton Dair Ghaelach Knockrath Forest Tree 1. Tinned fruits with plenty of life left in there (orange, pineapple, guava, melon) are joined by golden syrup, polished and lacquered oak panelling and toasted oak. Taste: Both syrupy and bold – and with a pleasant, progressive development. Midleton Dair Ghaelach, is the first ever Irish whiskey to be finished in virgin Irish Oak Hogsheads. Water reveals chopped almonds and barley water, alongside toasted bread and split vanilla pods. A rich, textural aspect is apparent through sunflower oil, whilst baked buns and dusty chocolate sit with maple syrup.
Stem ginger joins orange peels, mangos and reduced pineapple syrup in a sweet, but tart amalgamation. Nose: Immediately spice and bright, expressive fruitiness.
