Midleton Dair Ghaelach Kilranelgh Wood Tree #3 700 ml

Midleton Dair Ghaelach Kilranelagh Wood Tree No. 3 is the third individual-tree release in Midleton’s Kilranelagh Wood series, again using virgin Irish oak from Kilranelagh Estate in County Wicklow to finish the distillery’s single pot still whiskey after roughly two years of additional maturation. It’s bottled at cask strength, 57.1% ABV (114.2 proof), putting it a shade higher in strength than the first two trees in the series despite sharing the same forest source and finishing approach. Expect vanilla and caramel layered over the trademark pot still spice, with toasted oak and a touch of pepper building into a long finish. Good for anyone tracking how each individual Kilranelagh tree shifts the whiskey, tree to tree.

How to drink Midleton Dair Ghaelach Kilranelagh Wood Tree No. 3

Drink it neat with time to breathe in the glass — cask-strength pot still like this changes a lot in the first ten minutes. Add a few drops of water if the spice feels too hot at first sip.
