Teeling 18 Year Old The Renaissance Series 4 (70cl, 46%)
This right here is the fourth release in Teeling’s Renaissance Series, which celebrates the return of distilling in Dublin and Irish whiskey’s renaissance. It’s an 18 year old single malt whiskey, which has enjoyed a rather interesting finishing period – it spent 18 months resting in Pineau des Charentes casks! If you’re not familiar with it, Pineau des Charentes is a French fortified wine made with grape juice or must, blended with Cognac. It’s brilliantly vibrant and fruity, and those elements have made their way into this ace single malt!

Redbreast 21 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 70cl, 46%
The oldest expression from Redbreast so far, this is a combination of malted and unmalted barley matured in a mixture of bourbon barrels and first-fill oloroso casks, resulting in a rich and complex whiskey.
Irish Reserve 26 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
A 26 Year Old Irish single malt whiskey specially produced for Aldi.
Another day, another long-aged Aldi single malt. An Irish whiskey this time, and once again I’ve elbowed my way past the natural Malt correspondent to chip in with my tuppence worth first.
26years, in Irish whiskey terms, is ages. A quick scroll through any of the obvious channels will yield hundreds of scotch whiskies of that age or older, but properly mature Irish is much thinner on the ground.
It’s brilliant to see Aldi move beyond Scotland when putting together their rare whisk(e)y offering for this year. Makes one hope that their gaze might turn upon the USA – or even Canada – in 2018.

Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy Bottle No.1437 (75cl, 46%)
This release celebrates the Midleton Distillery’s master distillery, Barry Crockett, a man with more than 50 years of experience in distilling, 35 of those years as the master distiller of the Midleton Distillery. This special whisky is a blend of single pot still whiskies laid down over the course of 22 years. These whiskies have mainly been aged in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, resulting in a very vanilla-rich and slightly spicy whisky with an almost perfectly balanced oak influence. It is bottled at 46% without chillfiltration.
Released in 2011, Midleton’s Barry Crockett edition was named after the distillery’s master distiller, and it is aged in both bourbon and new American oak barrels! Very interesting indeed and a limited release of around 2,500 bottles per year.
Named after Midleton master distiller Barry Crockett.
Legacy was released in 2011, exclusively matured in Oak barrels which have previously contained American Bourbon.
