Midleton 40th Anniversary Ruby Edition

The Midleton Very Rare 40th Anniversary Ruby Edition is a masterpiece that marks four decades of crafting exceptional Irish whiskey. This limited-edition release is a blend of Single Pot Still and Single Grain Irish whiskeys, with some components dating back to the early 1980s. Finished in a ruby port cask, it offers a rich and complex flavour profile that showcases the mastery of the Midleton Distillery team.

Aroma

Opens with a rich and beautiful burst of berry fruits as notes of blackcurrant, raspberry, and plum come to the fore. A delicate perfume, with aromatic spices and an earthy woodland character is complemented by orchard fruits and citrus peel, while the seasoned oak imparts sweet vanilla, cinnamon, and fragrant honeycomb. The elegance of the grain whiskey quietly emerges to reveal soft and nuanced floral undertones.

Taste At first succulent fruits are met with pot still spices, imparting notes of freshly grated ginger and clove oil. The oak’s soft tannins combine with a nutty character. Notes of flaked almonds and nutmeg are wonderfully balanced by the seasoned port cask’s contribution of ripe berry fruits, cassis, and dark chocolate.

Finish

Luxuriously long and satisfying. The seasoned oak, fruits and spice continue to linger, eventually yielding only to time.
