Product Details
About This Bottle
Midleton Very Rare 2022 is the latest chapter in a renowned collection first launched in 1984, where each year Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman hand-selects rare single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys from Midleton's exclusive inventory to create a special vintage release. Bottled from a single vatting in January 2022, this edition combines whiskeys aged between 12 and 33 years, matured in a mix of first-fill and second-fill lightly charred ex-bourbon American oak casks. Every bottle is individually numbered and signed by the Master Distiller, presented in an accompanying wooden display case, with typically fewer than 2,500 cases released annually.
