Midleton Very Rare Barry Crockett Legacy Irish Whiskey

Irish Distillers honours former master distiller, Barry Crockett with this Pot Still Whiskey bearing his name. Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy represents a selection of Pot Still Whiskeys which have been matured exclusively in American Bourbon barrels with a subtle contribution from a pot still distillate which has been matured in an unseasoned or virgin American barrel. The aromatics, which are typical of the character delivered by pot still distillation, are generously complimented by a touch of lime, succulent green berries, pears and some green sweet pepper. The sweetness of vanilla and the deeper charred oak notes represent the seamless contribution made by maturation in best quality casks. Just two master distillers have had the privilege of preserving the legacy of the world's most sought-after Irish whiskey. Created in 1984 by master distiller Emeritus Barry Crockett, Midleton Very Rare is the ultimate expression of his art and expertise. Once a year, master distiller, Brian Nation honours Barry's vision by handpicking the finest and rarest Whiskeys available and carefully blends them to create each annual vintage of Midleton Very Rare. Only a select number of casks are deemed of sufficient excellence and rarity to bear the Midleton Very Rare name, making this the pinnacle of Irish Whiskey.
