Method and Madness is a new experimental range of Irish whiskeys from the masters at Midleton and their apprentices. Each of the three whiskeys has a unique twist – there's a sweet, toasty single-grain whiskey finished in virgin Spanish oak; a spicy single pot still dram finished in French chestnut; and a fruity, honeyed single malt whiskey enhanced with French Limousin oak (normally used to age Cognac). This is the new face of Irish whiskey…

Ever tried a whisky aged in chestnut wood before? We thought not! This also spends time in bourbon and sherry casks, adding layers of Christmas spices and tropical fruit. Absolutely delicious.
Tasting Notes
From Billy Leighton, Master Blender
- Nose
- Red liquorice laces, fresh rosemary and mint, and grated root ginger.
- Palate
- Sweet fruit and spice, cinnamon toast and ripe banana.
- Finish
- Aromatic green tea, dissipating fruit and spice and a rich wood farewell.
