Product Description
Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection Chapter Two Whiskey
was launched in May 2021 and limited to just 70 bottles worldwide. It is a Single Pot Still whiskey aged over an unprecedented 46 years and capturing the traditional signature style of the Old Midleton Distillery originally curated by Max Crockett. On its journey this treasured liquid has passed through many maturation stages including bourbon, sherry and port casks, before finally maturing in a third-fill bourbon cask. Its guardianship has passed too, from Master Distiller to Master Distiller, until finally Kevin O’ Gorman saw this truly unique Irish whiskey reach the peak of its perfection.
TASTING NOTES
Nose
The first Impression is a vibrant, fruity bouquet intertwined with a pleasing hint of exotic spices and soft sweetness. Decades of maturing in seasoned oak casks add a woody definition to the initial notes, while the fragrance of dark fruits and their zest effortlessly complement the delicate aromas of pot still spices, hazelnut and worn leather.
Taste
An assortment of berry fruits and mellow pot still spices slowly build in intensity, with each element enhancing the next. Subtle hints of anise and ginger weave amongst the unmistakably sweet characteristics of malt and oak. In the background, understated fruit flavours linger throughout.
Finish
The delicate spice and fruit flavours gradually fade, leaving the oak to have the final say.
ABV: 53.6%,
