Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Midleton Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Barry Crockett Legacy is a highly regarded expression from the renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. It is named in honor of Barry Crockett, the Master Distiller Emeritus who played a pivotal role in shaping the modern era of Irish whiskey. This whiskey was the first permanent addition to the Midleton Very Rare family since its inception in 1984.

Key Features:

• Irish Origin: Produced at the New Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Ireland.
• Single Pot Still: Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills – the quintessential Irish whiskey style.
• Maturation: Primarily matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, with a subtle contribution from a pot still distillate matured in an unseasoned American oak barrel.
• Non-Chill Filtered: While not always explicitly stated, the premium nature of Midleton often implies non-chill filtration to retain maximum flavor.
• ABV: Bottled at 46% ABV.

Tasting Notes (based on various sources):

• Nose: Elegant aroma of vanilla and toasted oak, complemented by a touch of lime, succulent green berries, pears, and green sweet pepper. Some detect floral honey, rosemary, cut hay, summer meadows, and toffee apples.   
• Palate: Light pepper carries onto fresh citrus, limes, and mandarin orange sweetness. A hint of cinnamon with vanilla and oak reveals its years spent in American oak. Sweet tobacco leaves and cedar, sugared peels, toffee, honey softness, and boiled sweets are also noted.   
• Finish: The full spectrum of flavors lasts well into the finish, slowly fading to expose the clean American oak foundation. Very creamy and vanilla-rich, with cinnamon and a little pear drop on the tail.   

Overall Impression:

Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy is a refined and elegant single pot still Irish whiskey that showcases the distillery's craftsmanship. The American oak maturation imparts classic bourbon notes of vanilla and spice, while the pot still character provides a rich and complex mouthfeel with fruity and citrus elements. It is considered a premium expression best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to fully appreciate its nuances.

• Master Medal: The Spirits Business Irish Whiskey Masters (their top award).
• Best Irish Blended Pot Still Whiskey: The Irish Whiskey Awards (2016).
• Double Gold Medal: San Francisco World Spirits Competition (various years).
