Midleton 1997 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
Heavy toffee on the nose, with vanilla and some touches of new leather book. Flashes of green grape and floral notes are suggestive of the grain element, as is the more perfumed lift. Plenty of subtle pot still underneath.
Taste
The palate is amazingly sweet: all Demerara sugar and butter with some clove and cinnamon. Reminiscent of sticky toffee pudding.
Finish
The sweet taste is slow to fade, with the final nod to barley spice.
