Midleton Dair Ghaelach Kilranelgh Wood Tree #6 700 ml

Midleton Dair Ghaelach is a single pot still Irish whiskey series from Midleton Distillery that finishes each release in virgin Irish oak casks cut from a single named tree, rather than the ex-bourbon or sherry casks used for most Irish whiskey. This bottling, Tree #6, draws its oak from the Kilranelagh Forest in County Wicklow, and the virgin Irish oak pushes the whiskey toward spice, toasted wood, and dried fruit in a way ex-American-oak casks don't. It's a whiskey for people who already know pot still Irish whiskey and want to taste what a specific, single-tree cask does to it rather than a broad, blended profile.

How to drink Midleton Dair Ghaelach Tree #6

Take this one neat, in a glass that lets the oak spice open up — it isn't built for ice. Give it a few minutes to breathe before the first sip.
