Description

The Dair Ghaelach series (meaning 'Irish Oak') from Midleton is an extraordinarily unique series of whiskies that capture the very essence of Ireland. This Single Pot Still Irish whiskey was matured initially in American Oak Bourbon barrels and finished in virgin native Irish Oak Hogshead casks sourced from Knockrath Forest in County Wicklow. Each whiskey in the range has been matured in barrels made from virgin Irish oak sourced from different forests across the country, with this release specifically from Tree #6 of Knockrath Forest. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 17, 20]
