Midleton Dair Ghaelach Knockrath Forest Tree No. 4 Irish Whiskey 750mL is an ultra-premium Irish whiskey finished in rare virgin Irish oak sourced from Knockrath Forest. “Dair Ghaelach,” meaning “Irish Oak,” represents Midleton’s groundbreaking use of native Irish wood, with each release uniquely traced to a specific oak tree — in this case, Tree No. 4.

Crafted from Midleton’s celebrated single pot still Irish whiskey, the spirit is first matured in American oak bourbon barrels before being finished in custom Irish oak casks. This distinctive maturation imparts remarkable structure and complexity, revealing notes of honey, baked apple, caramel, toasted oak, cinnamon, dark chocolate, nutmeg, and subtle herbal spice, supported by a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The Irish oak contributes bold tannins and layered spice, culminating in a long, warming finish with pronounced wood character and elegant sweetness. Individually numbered and produced in limited quantities, Tree No. 4 is highly collectible and prized by Irish whiskey enthusiasts.
