Explore 'Midleton Dair Ghaelach Irish Whiskey'. Its unique provenance told in each sublime sip, this is the tale of our native oak striking harmony with the classically rich and spicy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey character. The oak influences this special whiskey with the unique flavour of the heart of Ireland. This whiskey has been finished in casks made from virgin Irish oak grown in Kylebeg Wood on the Ballykilcavan Estate, near Stradbally in Co. While the name may be simple, the story of this whiskey is unique. "Dair Ghaelach means quite simply, Irish Oak. Smooth on the taste buds with a continuity of flavors from sniff to swallow, there is honey, butterscotch, orange peel, soft oak, peppery spice, and stone fruits it brings in vanilla and caramel and ends with notes of oak, spice, and dried fruit." "An attractive nose of vanilla, fresh oak, butterscotch, lemon balm, bread crust, caramel, coconut, and dried banana places this example in the middle ground. WEBSITE | DISCORD | INSTAGRAM | SUBREDDIT | SEARCHABLE ARCHIVEĤ | Sub-par | Not bad, but many things I'd rather have.Ĩ | Excellent | Really quite exceptional.AVAILABLE FOR IN STORE PICK-UP OR TO SHIP WITHIN CALIFORNIA Super cool to try, really sobering to see what I thought it was vs what it is, especially at the price of acquisition, but I'm ok with it. Wouldn't have thought for a moment that this would have been Irish, but looking at my notes, I can sort of see the connection. Really not sure what to guess, but unless it was really reasonably priced, I probably would pass on it. The cocoa, tobacco, maple, and floral fruits are really giving me pause here. I don't think it's a scotch, and I'm sure it's not bourbon, so I am going to go Fifty Shades of Weird and guess that this is a weird finished rye, or maybe a really dry rum. Also lots of cocoa, pepper, floral and fruity notes. Interesting blend of sweet, butter feel and dry spice.
Overall + Guess: It's very rye like, but not a spice bomb. Taste: Sweet, thin to medium mouthfeel, mild heat, vanilla, dry tobacco, cocoa.įinish: Medium length, rich spice, clove, pepper, tobacco, brown sugar, mild cocoa and lots of toffee. Nose: Maple, pepper, tobacco, melon and caramel. Here the staves dry for fifteen months before being turned into hogsheads and receiving a medium char." - Master of MaltĪge: NAS (Blend of 15-22yr old casks, according to marketing material) After this they head over to Antonio Páez Lobato cooperage in Jerez down in the south. Sustainable oak was used for Dair Ghaelach, with trees felled in Grinsell's Wood within Ballaghtobin Estate back in 2010 being transported to north west Spain to be expertly quarter-sawn. "Irish Distillers' first ever virgin Irish oak (Dair Ghaelach in Gaelic) finished whiskey! Single pot still whiskeys that had matured for between 15 and 22 years in ex-bourbon casks were selected for this release and married together before being filled into the Irish oak hogsheads. I reviewed it live on the official Whiskey Network Discord server and got the reveal so that I could type up this review.
