Irish Distillers Launches Midleton Very Rare 2024 Vintage
Irish Distillers has unveiled Midleton Very Rare Vintage 2024, the 41st edition in the annual series and the fourth to be released by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman.
Midleton Very Rare Vintage is a blend of single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys of various ages and barrel types. The 2024 vintage is comprised of components that were matured in a mixture of first fill ex-American whiskey oak barrels and a small number of refill ex-American whiskey oak barrels, and is bottled at 40% ABV.
Official tasting notes for Midleton Very Rare Vintage 2024 follow:
Nose: Richly scented vanilla with delightful floral and herbal notes to the fore, while aromas of orchard fruits gently build over time, adding ripe apple and sweet pear. The pot still spices, complemented by the nuanced American oak, add warming notes of cinnamon, clove and freshly mown hay that mingle with the delectable notes of toffee and heather honey.
Taste: Silky smooth and luscious at first with mouth-watering tropical fruit notes of peach and nectarine, combining effortlessly with the decadent tastes of crème brûlée, toffee-apple and chocolate dipped honeycomb. The delicate floral grain qualities and full-bodied pot still spices combine seamlessly with the charred oak influences, showcasing a wonderfully balanced yet complex and elegant whiskey.
Finish: Lasting finish which sees the fruits and American oak continue to softly linger until the very end.
As part of Irish Distillers’ sustainability initiative, Midleton Very Rare Vintage 2024 is presented in a luxurious recyclable gift box.
Midleton Very Rare Vintage 2024 is available in the USA, Canada, Global Travel Retail, Europe, Australia, and Asia at a suggested retail price of €240/$350.
