Midleton Very Rare 2005

Irish Blend

When we cracked this blend, I thought I was drinking a fruit salad! The nose is chockfull (and I do mean chockfull) of fresh peaches and apricots. It was sharp and sweet. The body is deliciously light and fresh. The finish here was medium-short, with undertones of gingersnap cookies and yes, more peaches. This is actually a wonderful whiskey (if you like peaches, of course). We all felt like we were drinking the whiskey equivalent of a cordial, without the cloying sweetness. A real treat!
