How to enjoy it

Neat
With water

Take your time with it neat to appreciate the complexity of long ageing. A few drops of water open the fruit and spice further. One for special occasions.

Food pairing

Aged cheeses, nuts and fruitcake — or on its own after dinner.

Background & production

Made at Midleton distillery in County Cork from single pot still whiskey: a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills.

The 21 Year Old combines whiskey matured for at least 21 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and first-fill Spanish oak oloroso sherry butts, including some as old as 28 years.

It was launched in September 2013 and is bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration.
