Read Drink Finder Reviews

Method and Madness Pot Still Irish Whiskey is the most unusual of this new range of boundary pushing expressions. Distilled at the Midleton Distiller, it takes the well trodden path initially being matured in sherry and bourbon barrels. Then things get interesting. The whiskey is finished in French Chestnut barrels and this is the first time the distillery has used anything other than oak to mature whiskey.The nose is liquorice, herbs, ginger with mint freshness. The palate provides sweet fruit and spice, cinnamon and banana. Finally youre treated to slowly fading fruit and spice culminating in a rich, woody taste.

This is a beautiful expression of a single pot still whiskey, showing that there is definitely method in the madness at Midleton distilleries. It is sweet and fruity, with a hint of creamy vanilla as the bourbon and sherry barrels show their influence. The whiskey coats the mouth, with great depth and a waxiness that is unique to pot still Irish drams. Yet it is the French Chestnut finish that elevates this whiskey to another level, leaving a sweet nutty aftertaste. It is a perfect digestif, very fitting for Christmas. This is a favourite of my wife, and the in-laws, so it never lasts very long. I was very happy to find it in stock on Whisky Finder, as it almost impossible to get hold of now, and the service was very good. Buy it whilst you can (or don't so I can buy it instead!)
