Midleton Very Rare Foret de Troncais Edition 1 Limited Edition Whisky 700ml

The Midleton Very Rare Forêt de Tronçais Edition 1 marks an extraordinary new chapter in Irish whiskey craftsmanship. Produced at the legendary Midleton Distillery, this inaugural release explores the profound influence of rare French oak sourced from the historic Forêt de Tronçais, one of the most prized oak forests in the world.

This exceptional expression is crafted from a selection of rare single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys, initially matured in traditional American oak bourbon barrels before being finished in specially commissioned casks made from Tronçais oak. Known for its exceptionally tight grain, this prestigious French oak imparts remarkable elegance, depth, and refined spice to the whiskey.

On the nose, delicate aromas of orchard fruits, toasted almond, vanilla cream, and gentle floral notes unfold alongside subtle oak spice. The palate is luxuriously smooth and complex, revealing layers of honeyed sweetness, ripe pear, warm baking spices, and silky vanilla, all beautifully balanced by the refined tannins and structure from the rare French oak casks. The finish is long and sophisticated, leaving lingering notes of sweet spice, toasted oak, and delicate fruit.

As the first release in this prestigious series, Edition 1 represents a groundbreaking collaboration between Irish whiskey tradition and exceptional French cooperage. Highly limited and meticulously crafted, it stands as a remarkable collector’s piece and a truly luxurious tasting experience.
