Master at the Irish Whiskey Masters 2021 and again in 2023! A unique collaboration between the prestigious Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain and the Midleton Distillery in County Cork. Initially matured in traditional bourbon & sherry casks for a period of 9-12 years. It is then finished for one extra year in first fill sherry butts which have been seasoned with oloroso sherry from the prestigious Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain.
Nose A welcoming mix of spiced apple juice, dried fruits, dusty oak, orange peel, pear drops, crystalised ginger and creme caramel.
Palate Sweet, fruity and creamy. Some classic pot still prickliness at the start and some touches of sappy oak, tart citrus, dried fruits and chocolate tofffees.
Finish Nice development in the mouth with a smooth transition from tart, bittersweet fruit to headier, chocolate, spice and sappy oak flavours.
