Jameson Single Pot Still (46%, OB 2022, Batch 1/2022, five oak casks)

Limited edition Batch 1 

We say: An excellent and exciting new release from the Midelton distillery. Building on their expertise with Dair Ghealach the use of virgin oak casks. This bottling has only pot still spirit and is matured in a combination of three different types of virgin oak (Irish, European and American), in addition to ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.

Age: Minimum 4 years in 5 oak casks 

Style: Single pot still 

Nose: nice barley sweetness with ripe stewed fruits, fudge and caramel, as well as hints of green apples. Vanilla comes out alongside more sherry-driven spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. 

Palate: orange peels, lemons and apples. Darker notes of toffee and chocolate come out after a while. Then vanilla, cinnamon and a slightly leafy note. Flashes of fresh fruits (plums, peaches) throughout.

Finish: medium long, with sweet grains and oak spice leaving a warming footprint
