Midleton – Very Rare 2016 Vintage Blended Irish Whiskey (75cl, 40%)

Midleton Very Rare 2016 is a blended Irish whisky from the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, part of a vintage series released once a year since 1984. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 75cl bottle. The 2016 edition was assembled from pot still and grain whiskeys aged between 12 and 33 years, under Master Distiller Brian Nation, who succeeded Barry Crockett. The nose is rich toffee, honey and creamy vanilla with ripe orchard fruit. The palate is smooth and rounded, with fruit, gentle spice and pot still character, and the finish is long, warm and elegant.
