Midleton Very Rare 40th Anniversary

The aroma opens with a vibrant burst of blackcurrant, raspberry, and plum, layered with aromatic spice and an earthy woodland character, while citrus peel and orchard fruit brighten the profile. Seasoned oak contributes notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and honeycomb, with the elegance of the grain revealing soft floral undertones. The palate is anchored by succulent fruit and pot still spice, unfolding into fresh ginger, clove oil, and a gentle nuttiness, with flaked almond and nutmeg balanced by ripe berry fruits, cassis, and dark chocolate from its port‑cask influence. The finish is luxuriously long and satisfying, with oak, fruit, and spice lingering gracefully before slowly fading with time.
