THE VINTAGE COLLECTION 1984-2023
Midleton Very Rare 1990: A Vintage Masterpiece in Irish Whiskey
Aroma
Heavy toffee on the nose, with vanilla and some touches of new leather book. Flashes of green grape and floral notes are suggestive of the grain element, as is the more perfumed lift. Plenty of subtle pot still underneath.
Taste
The palate is amazingly sweet: all Demerara sugar and butter with some clove and cinnamon. Reminiscent of sticky toffee pudding.
Finish
The sweet taste is slow to fade, with the final nod to barley spice.
