Midleton Very Rare 2017 Edition Irish Whiskey
Out of stock
The 2017 edition of Midleton Very Rare. This is quite a scarse version is as this is the old style packaging, there was a new bottle design for this vintage as well.
The blend, created by master distiller Brian Nation, comprises single pot still and grain whiskeys drawn from a batch of ex-Bourbon barrels with an age span of 12 to 32 years. Midleton Very Rare 2017 includes the oldest whiskeys used in the blend to date: 32-year-old grain whiskey and 26-year-old single pot still whiskey. Billed as ‘the pinnacle of Irish whiskey’,
Midleton Very Rare was created in 1984 by Nation’s predecessor, Barry Crockett, now Midleton’s master distiller emeritus.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with radiant honey tones and warm copper undertones.
Nose
Silky vanilla and caramel rise from the glass, framed by honeyed oak and toasted coconut. Bright citrus zest and orchard fruit mingle with dried apricot and almond, while white pepper and nutmeg add refined spice. A luxurious, aged grain-pot-still core threads through the aroma, hinting at the depth of this multi-decade blend.
Palate
Silky, creamy texture with honeyed orchard fruit, vanilla and a hint of citrus zest. Rich caramel, toasted almond and warm oak weave through a velvety mouthfeel, lifted by subtle spice. A refined sweetness lingers into a long, comforting finish.
Finish
Silky, long finish of vanilla, honey, and creamy toffee, threaded with refined oak. Subtle citrus zest and orchard fruit rise through a gentle spice, leaving a warm, lasting glow that recalls aged grain and pot still harmony.
