Detailed DescriptionThe second series of the Dair Ghaelach range to come from Midleton Distillery – the Bluebell Forest series. This exceptional whiskey is comprised of Single Pot Still distillates aged between 12-23 years that have been matured primarily in American oak Bourbon barrels, before being finished in native virgin Irish oak casks harvested from Bluebell Forest, Castle Blunden Estate, Co.Kilkenny. Uniquely each bottle can be traced back to one of six individual 130 year old oak trees that were carefully felled in the Bluebell Forest in May 2013.Midleton Distillery Dair Ghaelach Bluebell Forest Tree 2 Irish Whiskey Tasting NotesNose: Sweet vanilla notes are given depth by some chocolate honeycomb and coffee beans, whilst the balancing rich fruit aromas of red berries, pineapple and ripe banana complement the subtle aromatic oils.Palate: The typical Pot Still spices are fortified by the Irish oak character.
