O’Brien’s Wine Off Licence® Midleton Dair Ghaelach Tree 2 Knockrath – 4820725891150

The third release in the Dair Ghaelach series. Pot still whiskey blend of selected Midleton whiskies aged between 13 and 26 years. Further matured for two years in virgin Irish oak casks, harvested from the Knockrath Estate in County Wicklow. Nose: Pot still spices are accentuated by the Irish oak contribution, adding waves of toasted wood with hints of vanilla and roasted coffee, layered over fresh fruit which evolves from orchard fruits to tropical notes.

Taste: Classic pot still spices give a luscious texture to the fore, while the influence of the Irish oak adds a medley of sweet notes including chocolate and honeycomb.

Finish: Remarkably long finish with fruit and spices fading to allow the Irish oak to have the final say.
