Midleton
Barry Crockett Legacy
 Midleton,
the brand name synonymous with the
annual vintage release of Midleton Very
Rare and with the limited releases of
Midleton Single Pot Still Whiskeys, has
added its first permanent Single Pot
Still Whiskey to its range. The modern
day Midleton whiskey style is
characterised by elegant and fragrant
distillates and the exclusive use of
American bourbon barrels in their
maturation.
Bearing the name of the celebrated
second generation Midleton Master
Distiller, Midleton Barry Crockett
Legacy represents a selection of pot
still whiskeys which have been matured
exclusively in American bourbon barrels
with a subtle contribution from a pot
still distillate which has matured in an
unseasoned American barrel.
Single Pot Still whiskey is unique to
Ireland in general and to the Midleton
Distillery, Co. Cork, in particular, and
is regarded as the quintessential style
of Irish whiskey. Made from a mash of
malted and unmalted barley and then
triple distilled in traditional copper
pot stills, Pot Still whiskeys are
characterised by full, complex flavours
and a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel.
Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy
As a tribute to the man who is
inextricably linked to the Midleton
distillery and who has more than anyone,
shaped the renowned Midleton style,
Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy displays
a distinctive Pot Still complexity yet
is refined and poised on the finish.
