The 49-year-old limited edition expression is the penultimate opportunity for whiskey lovers to experience the Silent Distillery collection crafted from the old Midleton Distillery.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Delicate fruit first: peach, apricot and dates take the lead, layered with sugar-glazed almonds, worn leather and antique wood. Sweet treacle toffee, vanilla essence and heather honey weave through earthy woodland notes, with a soft dusting of white pepper lingering in the background.
Palate
Opens with a vibrant medley of stone and citrus fruits, enhances by the pot still whiskey’s luscious and silk-coating texture. The oak’s tannins slowly build, adding notes of herbal tea and dark chocolate, while the spices arise, and ginger perfectly complement the sweet undertones of salted caramel and toffee apple.
Finish
A lingering finish in which decades of ageing has developed intense and rich flavours, leaving the pot still spices and fruits to have the final say as the oak slowly fades.
