Description
Midleton Very Rare's 40th Anniversary Ruby Edition marks four decades of Ireland's finest pot still and grain whiskies, blended across three generations of master distillers—Barry Crocket, Brian Nation and Kevin O'Gorman—and finished in ruby port casks. The pot still base brings rich spice and orchard fruit, while the grain component adds lightness and subtle vanilla, all deepened by ruby port's dried fruit and tannin structure. The finish is long and warming, with cocoa and dried berry notes persisting. This limited release in hand-finished Waterford crystal is a collector's expression best savoured neat and slowly.
