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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistillery: Midleton, County Cork, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlend: Single pot still and single grain, aged 12-33 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAging: First and second-fill lightly charred ex-bourbon American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease: 2022 Vintage, individually numbered and signed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABV: 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose: Fresh citrus, mandarin, candied apple, white pepper, grated nutmeg, hazelnut chocolate, and toffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Caramelized red apple, orange zest, creme brulee, pot still spices, and cereal undertones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Rich and lasting, with grain and pot still spices fading first, letting the oak have the final say\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSince Midleton Very Rare's launch in 1984, each vintage carries its own unique flavor profile shaped by that year's specific cask selection, making this a genuine collector's release, best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its layered fruit, spice, and toasted oak complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does Midleton Very Rare 2022 taste like?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFresh citrus and candied apple on the nose, with caramelized red apple, orange zest, and creme brulee on the palate, finishing rich with lasting oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy does each year's release taste different?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach vintage is hand-selected by that year's Master Distiller from Midleton's warehouse inventory, so cask selection and age blend vary annually, giving every year its own distinct character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat comes with the bottle?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach bottle is individually numbered and signed by Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman, presented in a wooden display case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Midleton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42629192351828,"sku":"MID-VR-2022-750","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/1691\/2212\/files\/MidletonVeryRareVintageRelease2022.webp?v=1790279752","url":"https:\/\/estatesliquor.com\/products\/midleton-very-rare-2022-vintage-release-irish-whiskey","provider":"Estates Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
