Midleton Very Rare 2006 The Initial aromas of toasted wood bring with them strong roasted coffee notes and rich waves of sweet vanilla and honeycomb. Mild fruity undertones of green apple and orange zest add further dimensions of flavor, carefully weaving amongst the heavier pot still spices and the subtle and delicate floral notes that softly linger in the background. Vibrant and sweet. Fresh fruits of sweet pear, apples and apricot appear along with dairy fudge and sugar cane, before slowly subsiding to reveal spices of ginger, freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon. The charred American oak continues to build over time yet allowing the fruits and spice elements to remain evenly balanced. The sweet fruits and spices effortlessly linger for a time before slowly fading, allowing the oak to have the final say.
