The Midleton Very Rare 2018 is the 35th edition in the annually released Very Rare series from the renowned Midleton distillery, a continuation of a tradition started in 1984. This unique blend unites carefully selected single pot still and single grain whiskeys, showcasing the diverse array of expressions produced at the Midleton distillery. The whiskeys chosen for this blend have aged between 12 to 28 years, maturing exclusively in lightly-charred ex-Bourbon American white oak barrels, underscoring the distillery's commitment to crafting high-quality, rare whiskeys.
This release has been meticulously crafted to reflect the heritage and quality of the Midleton brand. Each bottle from this limited series is individually numbered, highlighting its unique place within this exclusive release. The release marks a celebration of exceptional craftsmanship, with each label being signed by the Master Distiller as a guarantee of its outstanding quality. This personal touch, coupled with the exclusive nature of the release, makes each bottle a coveted piece for collectors and investors alike.
Presented at a strength of 40% ABV and bottled in 2018, the Midleton Very Rare is a blend that embodies the richness and complexity that the distillery is known for. While maintaining consistency with past releases in the Very Rare series, the 2018 release also highlights the distillery's dedication to innovation and its ability to create rare and interesting expressions each year. The legacy of this series is upheld by the current Master Distiller, Brian Nation, who took up the mantle from the series' founder, Barry Crockett.
