Midleton 49 Year Old Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter #5 1973 Irish Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Opens with a vibrant medley of stone and citrus fruits, enhances by the pot still whiskey’s luscious and silk-coating texture. The oak’s tannins slowly build, adding notes of herbal tea and dark chocolate, while the spices arise, and ginger perfectly complement the sweet undertones of salted caramel and toffee apple.
Palate: Delicate hints of fruit at first, with peach, apricot and dates to the fore. Notes of sugar glazed almonds, worn leather and antique wood add to the complexity. Indulgent sweet tones of treacle toffee, vanilla essence and heather honey work in harmony with the earthy woodland aromas and light dusting of white pepper which quietly linger in the background.
Finish: A lingering finish in which decades of ageing has developed intense and rich flavours, leaving the pot still spices and fruits to have the final say as the oak slowly fades.
