The Midleton Very Rare Vintage Release 2018 is a limited release Irish whiskey, with a new vintage released each year since 1984. This expression is a blend of exceptional single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys, hand-picked by Master Distiller Brian Nation and aged between 12 and 28 years in lightly charred ex-Bourbon American white oak barrels. The Midleton Very Rare 2018 has rich notes of vanilla on the palate, with subtle floral notes and fresh citrus alongside black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon. The vanilla builds alongside toasted oak and sweet orchard fruits for a lingering finish.
This whiskey is a special series from the Midleton distillery, with each bottle individually numbered and featuring the signature of the Master Distiller. The bottle comes in a wooden presentation box with a certificate of authenticity. The Midleton distillery, located in Cork, Ireland, has a rich history dating back to 1825. The distillery, which was originally a woollen mill, was founded by the Murphy brothers and later became the Cork Distilleries Company in 1867. In 1975, the distillery moved to its current location in Midleton and became the home of Irish Distillers, where both Jameson and Powers whiskeys are also produced.
This particular release of Midleton Very Rare was aged to perfection and bottled in 2018, marking the 35th release in the series. It is a testament to the expertise and art of the Master Distiller and a must-have for whiskey collectors and enthusiasts.
