Midleton distillery is the home of Jameson Irish whiskey as well as Redbreast, Powers and the Spot whiskeys, but they also release premium single pot still Irish whiskeys under their own label. Since 1984, each Master Distiller of Midleton Very Rare uses their eye for detail, their passion for quality whiskey and their exemplary skill to create the pinnacle of Irish whiskey. This is very popular because duty and VAT is not payable until the wine is removed from this warehouse. Storing wine like this can increase the chances of label damage, for example when moving bottles or high humidity causing dampness. Every year since 1984, the Master Distillers at the Midleton distillery in Cork handpick the most exceptional whiskeys available to craft a rare vintage blend produced in very limited quantities.Aged in gently charred ex-bourbon American oak barrels, the Midleton Very Rare 2023 Vintage Release captivates with its sumptuous flavours and aromas. The 2022 Midleton Very Rare vintage Irish blended whiskey is produced using single pot still and single grain whiskeys in ex-bourbon American oak barrels.
