Barry Crockettis a legend at Midleton. His official title is“Master Distiller Emeritus”and they tend to bring the veteran out of retirement to help new kids learn from the master. Back in 2011, the historic Midleton brand was set on returning their Spirits to their roots of classic,Irish pot-distilling. Barry taught them how, so theynamed this fine dram after himand added it to theirpermanent core lineup.

In addition to the revived pot-distillation, one of the unique things about Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy Whiskey is theunique aging combination. Its aged in bothex-Bourboncasks AND innew American Oak. Off the top of our collective Flaviar heads, we cant think of anyone else doing it that way. What this does is let theindividual character of the malt shinethrough. But like all special things, it’s availability isstrictly limited only 2,500 bottles per year so get Irish and grab one of em for yourself.
