Commenting one news, Kevin O’Gorman, Master of Maturation at
Midleton Distillery, said: “Since 2014, our research into maturation in
different wood types has challenged our expertise and approach to
whiskey-making, but none so much as our experimentations with wild cherry
casks. The rare, porous wood is different to anything that we have handled
before, so it has been a real achievement to create the perfect balance of
flavour – the result is a world-first in Irish
whiskey, with a nose of coconut fibre and ginger, a palate of fresh
green herbs, black tea and unmistakable pot still spices and a long, fresh
finish with prickly spice and hazelnut.”
Method and Madness Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Finished in
Wild Cherry, will be available later this month in six markets, including
