Midleton Whisky Knockrath 113 750 ml

This is a bottling from Midleton Distillery's Dair Ghaelach series, which finishes single pot still Irish whiskey in virgin Irish oak sourced from specific named forests — Knockrath being one of them — rather than the used American or European casks most Irish whiskey relies on. Irish oak tends to impart spicier, more resinous character than the vanilla-forward American oak used elsewhere in the industry. Specific tree number, cask count, and proof for this release aren't confirmed here, but Dair Ghaelach bottlings are limited and closely tracked by Irish whiskey collectors.

How to drink this Midleton Knockrath release

Neat, in a tulip glass, to follow the Irish oak's spice — this is a limited, collector-attention bottling, not a mixing whiskey.
