Midleton 1986 Very Rare Irish Whiskey 750ml

The first Midleton Very Rare bottling was released in 1984 and a new vintage is released every year.
he individual nature of the selection process means that each year’s vintage provides its own unique character. The Midleton Very Rare range is not blended like any other whiskey. The uncompromising ritual and expertise of the Master Distiller leads to subtle but recognisable differences between the years.
Prized amongst whiskey appreciators, there are very few collections of all vintages since the first release in existence.

Tasting Notes
Aroma
An increased pot still component is evident with strong, oily, pot still influence to the fore. Resinous and supple, with crème brûlée notes from the bourbon casks. Ripe banana and blackcurrant, plus some toasted sourdough with whipped butter and grape jelly. In time it’s all toffee and honey.
Taste
Green apples and pears with the spiciness of single pot still driving through, leading to waves and waves of vanilla and honey.
Finish
Long oily finish with a sweet honey finish.
