Irish whiskey from the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, this annual release is a blended expression that combines pot still whiskey, grain whiskey, and malt whiskey matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks. The 2023 vintage represents the distillery's house style, built on the character of pot still whiskey, a uniquely Irish category that uses a mix of malted and unmalted barley in the mash.
Expect a rounded, honeyed profile with orchard fruit, vanilla, and subtle spice from the cask influence. The blend is approachable and versatile, working equally well neat, with a splash of water, or in a long drink. This is whiskey meant for everyday discovery rather than special occasions, inviting you to taste what makes Irish whiskey distinct from its Scotch and American cousins.
