Midleton Very Rare 2025 Vintage Release marks a significant milestone, commemorating two centuries of distilling mastery at Ireland's renowned Midleton Distillery. This exceptional blend brings together six distinct distillate styles, including rare 21-year-old and 22-year-old grain whiskeys matured in refill American oak barrels, and a heightened contribution of single pot still whiskeys aged in first-fill barrels. The result is a harmonious and complex whiskey that embodies the pinnacle of Irish craftsmanship.
Presented in a gift box adorned with illustrations of the Midleton Distillery and its iconic copper pot stills, this limited edition release is a testament to sustainable luxury. Bottled at 40% ABV, it offers a refined experience.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Opens with sweet waves of caramelised apple, toffee fudge, and vanilla, complemented by subtle herbal and floral notes of freshly picked garden mint and lavender. Woodland spices of cinnamon and nutmeg emerge, reflecting the rich influence of American oak.
- Palate: Textured layers of sweet honeycomb intertwine with soft fruits and delicate herbal undertones. White pepper and a mild hint of chilli oil enhance nuanced citrus and orchard fruits, while decadent flavours of treacle, toffee, vanilla, and sugar-glazed fruits build complexity.
- Finish: Rich and lingering, the fruits gently fade, leaving the oak and pot still spices to provide a lasting, elegant conclusion.
This Limited edition release is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a unique expression offering a journey through rich flavours and timeless craftsmanship.
