THE VINTAGE COLLECTION 1984-2023
Midleton Very Rare 1986: A Classic Vintage of Irish Whiskey Excellence
Aroma
An increased pot still component is evident with strong, oily, pot still influence to the fore. Resinous and supple, with crème brûlée notes from the bourbon casks. Ripe banana and blackcurrant, plus some toasted sourdough with whipped butter and grape jelly. In time it’s all toffee and honey.
Taste
Green apples and pears with the spiciness of single pot still driving through, leading to waves and waves of vanilla and honey.
Finish
Long oily finish with a sweet honey finish.
