This week we continued our hugely successful string of Twitter
trending Tweet Tastings, by exploring a bountiful bevy of Irish whiskey wares
from those masters of the Single Pot Still at the Midleton Distillery.
In the good company of our international gathered ensemble of
tasters, on Wednesday night we had the pleasure of sampling their: Redbreast 12
Year Old, Green Spot, Powers John’s Lane and Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy
expressions.
All of which made for an evening of dramspanking dramfotainment
that managed to trend 5th on Twitter in the UK via #SPSWhiskeyTT
Here are a few of the tweeted tasted highlights from the
night:
@mynameisgone The nose is really inviting, no burn, getting more spice through and lots of vanilla.
@whiskytube A really buttery sherry trifle with lashings
of spicy honey and sultanas.
@bumpythechemist
Palate starts of clean with some pear drops, then goes bitter sweet followed by
big spice.
@EdinburghWhisky
Grapefruit, purple fruit pastels, plums, a juicy and a treacley oily feel .
Making me very happy.
@fr1day Apple crumble fresh out the oven, liberally sprinkled with fudge crumbs and mixed herbs.
@themisswhisky
Damn I forgot how good Green Spot is. Seriously could drink this for breakfast.
@steveprentice
The palate continues to intrigue with notes of apples & bananas with a few
lightly spiced oaky notes.
@PresleyKa I
think Green Spot would go well with some vintage cheddar or something salty.
@TheWhiskyBoys A big box of Thorntons truffles, a very small espresso, wet newspaper print and damp firewood.
@rodbodtoo Fresh fruit & cream, then a layer of baked fruit on sweet pastry.
@whiskytube Imagine you've just poured a shot of Cointreau into a Belgian hot chocolate!
@DramStats Herbal notes, vanilla, with lots of spice (pepper and oak) foam bananas and banana Nesquik.
@EdinburghWhisky
Mango, pear, pineapple. Mr Crockett got all the fruits of the forest into this
wee bottle.
@fr1day Hold
this one in your mouth for a while! Initial sweet melon rush, then
peppers/limes/cinnamon surges.
@themisswhisky Wow! love when I retry something I loved the 1st & 2nd time & realise
I love it just as much the 3rd.
@alicha82 I
can imagine this going with figs and aged Parmesan cheese.
