ItвЂ™s dry in the right amount, sweet in the right amount, and overall was nice to sip on. ThereвЂ™s some nice spices, fruits, and even brown sugar notes throughout. It does the coconut flavour that I enjoy from virgin American casks, though itвЂ™s not as strong, especially given the length of the finish. So, separating that from my thoughts, letвЂ™s look at this: ItвЂ™s not complex in the вЂњinsane flavoursвЂќ, itвЂ™s complex in the вЂњwow, lots of flavours hereвЂќ, as well as having some of those interesting flavours.

Partially because I set my expectations quite high with the last amazing Irish whiskey. This needs time or water to open up nicely, but not a lot.ДЇinish is where it hints at some complexity with the pear brandy, though doesnвЂ™t quite follow through on that.Д¬onclusion: So itвЂ™s hard to rate this one. However the amount of flavours is still quite nice.ДЇinish: Cinnamon, burn, wood, pear brandy, banana, vanilla, ginger, cloves, sugar caneД«urn on the finish. Have to say, given the age, special edition nature, and cask strength, I was looking for more complex flavours. This goes with the dry element, and the caramel and apple are impossible to separate. Perfume goes with the orange and perfume to combine into a nice honey tangerine. Taste: Honey tangerine, dry pear, oak, caramel apple, cloves, peach Water opens up more herbal notes, however beyond that doesnвЂ™t bring too much out. Any orange here has a little more sweetness to it. Virgin oak here has given some coconut and nice tropical fruit. Nose: Coconut milk, pineapple, caramel, marmalade, thyme, baklava, perfume So this will be interesting, letвЂ™s see how it tastes.Д¬ask Type: Refill ex-bourbon then finished in Virgin Irish Oak hogheads To add to that, they keep track of each tree, thus each release tells you which tree it was.

Then they are married together for two days, then placed in the Irish oak casks for over a year. The various whiskies range in age from 15 to 22 years old. The whiskey is matured in refill American Oak bourbon barrels, made from malted and unmalted whiskey that was tripled distilled. Irish Oak takes twice as long as American oak to age, and as such, special permits must be gathered to cut down these slow growing trees.The trees themselves are 130 year old, coming from GrinsellвЂ™s Wood, within the Ballaghtobin Estate in Co. What makes it special? ItвЂ™s been finish in Irish Oak Hogsheads. Midleton Dair Ghaelach is a special release from Midleton. WhatвЂ™s that? Well IвЂ™ll get to that, stop being so impatient. The whiskey I chose? Well itвЂ™s Midleton Dair Ghaelach Tree 9. Hit my budget for the trip, ladies and gentlemen.ДЄnd since IвЂ™m going out with a bang, and since weвЂ™re at the Bison Bar & B.B.Q., and since they were nice enough to give me a tour of their smoker in the kitchen (super cool!), I decided to do a review after completely clearing out my palate with lots of water, time, coffee, a complete replacement of my mouth, punching myself a few times, and thinking happy thoughts. Wanted to have more, but finally had to tap out.
