Description :

Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey is a blended selection of whiskeys picked out by the master distiller (Barry Crockett). The blends are from whiskeys aged anywhere from 12 to 25 years all aged in bourbon barrels. The blend was first introduced in 1984 and each year is considered a vintage year with some variation from year to year. They suggest drinking neat or with a "drop of water."

The superlative score from Wine Enthusiasts happen to be from the 2006 blend.

Midleton is the today main distillery of the Irish Distiller Group of Pernod-Ricard. They produce the "majority" of all Irish whiskey. It was founded in 1796 as a woolen plant until the 1820s when it was converted to whiskey production (James, Murphy & Co). They eventually merged with other distilleries to become the Cork Distillers Company. They claim to have the world's largest still with a reported capacity of 31,618 gallons. Midleton whiskey is known for being "very rare" pot still whiskey, which means it is generated in batches and a claim to old-fashioned production techniques. In 1966, Cork Distillers merged with Jameson to become the Irish Distillers Group. At that time, the Midleton Distillery became the New Midleton Distillery when it was expanded and modernized. The Irish Distillers Group is still in existence today under the ownership and Direction of Pernod-Ricard.
