Description:
Laid down in 1992, this third release is a single pot still whiskey, aged for 28 years and bottled at cask strength (54.4%). Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman used his expertise from years as Midleton’s Head of Maturation to select a particularly special 2nd fill bourbon barrel laid down by Barry Crockett. After 28 years of maturation, investigation and sampling Kevin felt that it was time to add this exquisite whiskey to Adare Manor’s collection with this special cask laid down on the 4th June 1992. On the nose, the Adare Manor Midleton Very Rare Single Cask 28-year-old has delicate pot still spices at first with soft fruits that slowly build, adding to the rich and warm nutty liqueur aromas and sweet notes of honeycomb. Hints of citrus zest and fresh herbs begin to appear, weaving amongst the earthy woodland notes while the spices continue to evolve in tandem with the seasoned oak’s antique wood and worn leather characteristics, highlighting the many years of maturation. In the mouth, it is rich and intense, with initial notes of dark roasted coffee and toasted hazelnut with deep earthy tones. The piquant spices and delicate oak tannins work in tandem with the fruits, creating a mélange of flavours; black pepper, sugar-glazed fruits, dried herbs along with a mild prickle of chilli oil in the background. Finally, it has a lingering finish, where the fruits softly fade while the aged barley and old oak remain vibrant until the very end.
