Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy 70cl

Description

Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy is a tribute to one of Ireland’s most revered whiskey makers, Barry Crockett, the celebrated second-generation Master Distiller at Midleton Distillery. This exceptional single pot still Irish whiskey is a personal selection of old and elegant pot still whiskeys, matured exclusively in American bourbon barrels, with a subtle contribution from a pot still distillate aged in virgin American oak. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, it carries no age statement, with whiskeys in the blend ranging from 10 to 22 years old.

Why You’ll Love It

Barry Crockett Legacy is widely regarded as one of the finest expressions of single pot still Irish whiskey ever produced. The exclusive use of American bourbon barrels gives it a distinctive freshness and elegance, setting it apart from the more sherry-driven expressions in the Midleton range. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% ABV, it delivers the full complexity of pot still character with exceptional clarity and length.

Distillery and Production

Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Ireland. Single pot still Irish whiskey made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills. Matured exclusively in American bourbon barrels, with a small contribution from virgin American oak. No age statement; whiskeys range from 10 to 22 years. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Generous pot still aromatics with a touch of lime, succulent green berries, pears, and a hint of sweet green pepper, underpinned by vanilla and charred oak. Palate: Light peppery pot still spice leads into fresh citrus, lime, and mandarin orange sweetness, with cinnamon, vanilla, pine freshness, and charred wood acknowledging the years in American oak. Finish: Long and complex, slowly fading to reveal a clean, elegant American oak foundation.

Perfect Pairings

Best enjoyed neat or with a small measure of still water to open up the citrus and spice. Pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, mild hard cheeses, and white chocolate. Also exceptional as the base for a refined whiskey sour.
