Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 70cl

Description

Few people are born into a job and fewer still can say that they were born where they work. Master Distiller, Barry Crockett has both distinctions. Born in the Distiller`s Cottage that sits on the grounds of the Midleton Distillery, Barry Crockett has been immersed in the art ofwhiskey distilling for almost 50 years. As a young apprentice, Barry learned his craft from his father and Midleton Master Distiller, Max Crockett, eventually succeeding him as Master Distiller in 1981. The modern day Midleton whiskey house style evolved under the stewardship of the Crocketts, and achived notoriety through the annual vintage release of the Midleton Very Rare blend and the limited releases of Midleton Single Pot Still Whiskey. The style is characterised by elegant and fragrant distillates and the exclusive use of American bourbon barrels in their maturation. Barry Crockett Legacy is the first ongoing bottling of a Single Pot Still Whiskey from the Midleton brand and is fitting tribute to the legacy of the man, who more than anyone else, has defined the exquisite Midleton style. The whiskey represents Barry Crockett`s personal selection of fine and elegant whiskeys which have been distilled and laid down over the past 22 years. Using a combination of different Pot Still distillates, Barry Crockett has assembled a whiskey of remarkable complexity and finesse. The whiskey uses mainly the highest quality first fill bourbon barrels with a subtle contribution of a particular Pot Still distillate which has spent over 18 years maturing in unseasoned American oak barrels.
