Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaelach is one of the most extraordinary and historically significant Irish whiskeys ever produced — a single pot still Irish whiskey matured in casks made from native Irish oak, sourced from the Kilranelagh forest in County Wicklow. Dair Ghaelach means "Irish Oak" in the Irish language, and this expression is a tribute to the ancient tradition of Irish oak cooperage that predates the modern whiskey industry. The result is a whiskey of breathtaking complexity and uniqueness: the characteristic creamy spice of Midleton's pot still style transformed by the extraordinary influence of Irish oak into something that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Profoundly complex — toasted Irish oak, dried fruit, vanilla, and a rich pot still spice with notes of dark honey, leather, and a distinctive woody earthiness
Palate: Extraordinarily layered — Christmas cake, dark fruit, and a warming pot still spice with a silky mouthfeel and a depth of complexity that speaks to the unique influence of native Irish oak
Finish: Exceptionally long and warming with lingering Irish oak tannins, dried fruit, and a dignified pot still warmth that fades slowly and gracefully
