Midleton Very Rare Barry Crockett Legacy 70cl

Few people are born into a job and fewer still can say that they were born where they work. Master Distiller Emeritus, Barry Crockett has both distinctions.
Born in the Distiller’s Cottage, Barry Crockett has been immersed in the art of whiskey distilling for almost 50 years. Barry learned his craft from his father and Midleton Master Distiller, Max Crockett; eventually succeeding him as Master Distiller in 1981. As a tribute to the man who is inextricably linked to the Midleton distillery and who has been instrumental in shaping the renowned Midleton style, Midleton Very Rare Barry Crockett Legacy displays a distinctive pot still complexity yet is refined and poised on the finish.

Since 20th September, Midleton Very Rare Barry Crockett Legacy has been presented in new luxurious sustainable packaging, replacing the wooden cabinet used since 2011, honouring the heritage of the past while striving for the future.

Tasting Notes

Elegant aroma of vanilla and toasted oak complimented by a touch of lime, succulent green berries, pears and green sweet pepper.

Light pepper carries onto fresh citrus, limes and mandarin orange sweetness. A hint of cinnamon with vanilla and oak reveals its years spent in American oak.

FINISH
The full spectrum of flavours lasts well into the finish, slowly fading to expose the clean American oak foundation.
