Midleton Very Rare 2015

Master distiller Brian Nation is really getting into his stride now. This vintage has creamed coconut Jersey milk vanilla desserts crystallized jellies fresh orange peel and dry spices. To drink it is to celebrate American oak; creamy golden polished with peach honey sherbet sugars butter frosting sponge cupcakes almond biscuits and Quaker oatmeal squares. Spices are reactivated at the swallow. You have a whole year to enjoy this until the next one arrives. Really there’s no excuse.
