Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaelach Kylebeg Wood Tree No. 1 Irish Whiskey 700mL is an ultra-premium Irish whiskey finished in rare Irish oak sourced from the Kylebeg Forest. “Dair Ghaelach” translates to “Irish Oak,” and this limited release highlights the unique influence of native Irish wood, with each bottling traced back to an individual tree — in this case, Tree No. 1.

Crafted from Midleton’s signature single pot still Irish whiskey and matured initially in American oak bourbon barrels before finishing in Irish oak hogsheads, this expression delivers remarkable depth and structure. Expect layered notes of toasted oak, honey, orchard fruit, caramel, warm spice, dark chocolate, and subtle herbal undertones, supported by a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The Irish oak imparts distinctive tannic grip and complexity, leading to a long, warming finish with lingering spice and wood character. Individually numbered and highly limited, this release is prized among collectors.
