Dair Ghaelach is the first virgin Irish oak finish whiskey from Irish Distillers. Single pot still whiskey aged for 15 to 22 years in ex bourbon casks is finished in virgin Irish oak casks which were made in Jerez after fallen oak trees were collected from the Grinsell's Wood in Ballaghtobin Estate.

In 2016, Jim Murray gave 97 points to Midleton Dair Ghaelach, just 0.5 below CR Northern Harvest Rye, and it was named the second best overall and the best Irish whiskey of the year.

This was one of the best Irish whiskies and one of the best drams I have tried in 2017.

In the following years Dair Ghaelach became so popular! It sells out whenever available and selling for thousands of US Dollars at the auctions by the set.
