The Barry Crockett Legacy pays homage to Midleton Very Rare’s legendary former Master Distiller, because nobody has shaped their renowned style. The inaugural release in his honour came in 2011, making it the first whiskey from an Irish distiller to be named after their Master Distiller since John Jameson. Only around 2,500 bottles are made each year, making it a highly sought-after whiskey indeed. As well as securing the top accolade at The Irish Whiskey Masters 2022, this premium Single Pot Still Whiskey gets rave reviews wherever it’s tasted… 95 points, “This is mastery of American oak! Polished wood, cinnamon cereals, dry spices of pepper, allspice, and paprika, and a riot of mostly overripe fruit: custard apple, mango, brown banana, baked apricot dessert, and fresh fig. Caramel, date slices, treacle, and cracker bread flavours are bathed in feisty pot still spices and fleeting green apple, before a lush, rich sweetness of banoffee pie, vanilla, and cinnamon descends. The finish is seemingly eternal.” – Whisky Advocate 93 points, “An attractive floral perfume and aromas of toasty oak lead to a multi-layered flavour profile combining roasted coffee, sweet chocolate, black pepper and vanilla spice. Well-executed, and very easy drinking!” – International Wine & Spirit Competition 2022 Crafted from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled and matured exclusively in American Bourbon barrels, some seasoned and some unseasoned, this is a pinnacle of Midleton’s range. Expect vanilla, toasted oak, sweet pear, orchard blossom, wildflower meadows, toffee apple, mandarin orange, cinnamon, greengage, tropical fruit, pink peppercorn, Medjool date, banana bread, boiled sweets and those fancy French apricot pastries. Barry Crockett’s Legacy really is that complex and delightful.
