Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy Whiskey
Midleton, the brand name synonymous with the annual
vintage release of Midleton Very Rare and with the limited releases of Midleton
Single Pot Still Whiskeys, added its first permanent Single Pot Still Whiskey to
its range in 2011.
Distilled
and matured by Barry Crockett, this whiskey earned the Double Gold Medal at the
San Francisco World Spirits Competition and earned 99 pints at 2012 Ultimate
Spirits Challenge.
Bearing the name of the celebrated second generation
Midleton Master Distiller, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy represents a
selection of pot still whiskeys which have been matured exclusively in American
bourbon barrels with a subtle contribution from a pot still distillate which
has matured in an unseasoned American barrel.
This pinnacle of the Single Pot Still range, Midleton
Barry Crockett Legacy, marked the first time since John Jameson that an Irish
Distillers product had been named after a Master Distiller. Single Pot Still
whiskey is unique to Ireland in general and to the Midleton Distillery, Co.
Cork, in particular, and is regarded as the quintessential style of Irish
whiskey. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple
distilled in traditional copper pot stills, Pot Still whiskeys are
characterised by full, complex Flavors and a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel.
As a tribute to the man who is inextricably linked to the
Midleton distillery and who has more than anyone, shaped the renowned Midleton
style, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy displays a distinctive Pot Still
complexity yet is re?ned and poised on the ?nish.
With over 30 illustrious awards received to date, this is
a whiskey that truly embodies its name. In 2016 it was named the Best Irish
Blended Pot Still Whiskey at The Irish Whiskey Awards.
AROMA
Elegant aroma of vanilla and toasted oak complimented by
a touch of lime, succulent green berries, pears and green sweet pepper.
TASTE
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.
