The Midleton Very Rare 2017 release is a distinguished expression in the annual Very Rare series by the renowned Midleton distillery. This edition, presented at 40% ABV, stands out as the inaugural showcase of the distillery's newly designed packaging, aligning this premium release with their ultra-premium single cask bottlings. The blend is a testament to the distillery's craftsmanship, offering a harmonious marriage of select single pot still and grain whiskeys.
This particular blend is composed of components aged between 12 to 32 years, matured exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels. Notably, the 2017 release includes some of the oldest whiskeys ever used in this series, featuring a 32-year-old grain whiskey and a 26-year-old pot still whiskey. The whiskeys chosen for the blend embody the highest standard of excellence and rarity, thus warranting the 'Very Rare' distinction.
Since its inception in 1984, the Very Rare series has been under the careful stewardship of just two Master Distillers. First established by Master Distiller Emeritus Barry Crockett, the tradition of crafting the annual vintage continues today with Master Distiller Brian Nation. Each Midleton Very Rare release is a unique, handpicked compilation, adding to its allure for collectors.
The 2017 Midleton Very Rare release comes complete with a certificate of authenticity, an indication of the blend's exclusivity. Each bottle is individually numbered, and the label is personally signed by the Master Distiller. These special features underline the care and attention to detail that goes into each bottle, making this a sought-after addition to any whiskey investment portfolio or collection.
