Midleton Very Rare 2022 marks the second release for Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman and the 39th edition in the annual series. This Irish whiskey is made from a blend of single pot still and grain whiskeys which were aged between 12-33 years. The barrels used for maturation were lightly charred first-fill and refill ex-bourbon barrels made from American oak. The barrels selected were predominately sourced from Midleton's A2 traditional stone warehouse which dates back to the 1860s.

An exceptionally smooth whiskey. The nose has aromas of honey and oak with a pleasant citrus/floral sweetness underneath. The palate is fantastic. It’s such a soft/smooth whiskey. Flavors or orange, sugar coated apples, and slight baking spices. The whiskey finishes delicate and long.
One of my favorites. I particularly enjoy the caramel and nougat nose and the praline, buttery biscuits, and toffee taste.
Caramel, sweet, like toasted butter, smooth, nice
Straight: Good
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
