Description
Distilled in 2000 from a carefully selected pot still, this spirit was nurtured in a seasoned oak cask. The interaction between the young, vibrant whiskey and the wood has resulted in a complex and harmonious flavor profile.
Nose: The aroma is a captivating blend of pot still character and the subtle influence of oak maturation. Notes of vanilla, honey, and spice dance on the nose, while a touch of dried fruit adds complexity. The spirit’s youthful energy is evident, promising a vibrant palate experience.
Palate: The palate is full-bodied and remarkably smooth. The initial sweetness of vanilla and honey is complemented by a gentle warmth from the oak. A subtle touch of spice adds intrigue, while the underlying pot still character provides a robust foundation. The whiskey’s freshness and vitality are immediately apparent.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with the sweet and spicy notes gradually fading to reveal a delicate balance of oak and spirit. This is a whiskey that rewards contemplation, revealing new layers of flavor with each sip.
With its limited availability and exceptional quality, the 2000 Midleton Single Cask is a true collector’s item. This is not merely a beverage; it is a piece of Irish whiskey history, waiting to be savored and cherished.
