The ruby is often described as the āgem of gemsā. Itās a precious stone that signifies the 40thĀ anniversary, and for the team at Midleton Very Rare, it felt like the perfect embodiment of our journey so farāa story fuelled with burning passion, commitment to honouring and furthering the worldās appreciation for Irish whiskey and protection of the wonderful and long-held history of Midleton Distillery. Over the last 40 years we have celebrated milestones and brought the world rare Irish whiskeys that are made to be savoured or saved for precious moments, and this release is exactly that.
Curated by Master Distiller at Midleton Distillery, Kevin OāGorman, he carefully considered the collection of exceptional vintage years feature casks from each of the three Master Distillerās defining eras. This whiskey, finished in port cask, is the culmination of decades of expertise, experience, dedication and skill. The has never been an Irish whiskey quite like this, and there never will be again.
- Aroma
Opens with a rich and beautiful burst of berry fruits as notes of blackcurrant, raspberry, and plum come to the fore. A delicate perfume, with aromatic spices and an earthy woodland character is complemented by orchard fruits and citrus peel, while the seasoned oak imparts sweet vanilla, cinnamon, and fragrant honeycomb. The elegance of the grain whiskey quietly emerges to reveal soft and nuanced floral undertones.
- Taste
At first succulent fruits are met with pot still spices, imparting notes of freshly grated ginger and clove oil. The oakās soft tannins combine with a nutty character. Notes of flaked almonds and nutmeg are wonderfully balanced by the seasoned port caskās contribution of ripe berry fruits, cassis, and dark chocolate.
- Finish
Luxuriously long and satisfying. The seasoned oak, fruits and spice continue to linger, eventually yielding only to time.
