Description
Midleton Very Rare is one of the most exclusive whiskeys ever produced in Ireland. Exclusively matured in American oak barrels, this whiskey is only available in strictly limited quantities as just a small number of casks are personally selected by the Master Distiller, Brian Nation. (Prior to 2014 the Master Distiller was Barry Crockett). An annual selection since 1984 and thus, very collectable, each bottle is individually numbered and bears the signature of the Master Distiller as a final guarantee of outstanding quality Priced at: €155.00 EUR
| Tasting Notes | |
| Nose | Lively, fruity and ester filled aromas on the nose. A second nosing reveals some spicy notes of clove, crystallised ginger, boiled sweets, candied orange peel, pineapple and dried apricots. |
| Palate | Powerful and assertive on the palate. A bit of a departure from previous bottlings. This is quite muscular and richly flavoured with perhaps a higher pot still content than before. Quite reminiscent of some of the recent virgin oak single cask editions. This begins with sweet, orange citrus and pineapple then quickly becomes quite peppery and spicy with flavours of cloves, ginger, cinnamon, vanilla. |
| Finish | Great length with the complex flavours continuing to evolve all the way to the finish. |
| Colour | Bright bronze. |

How Its Made
Triple distilled whiskey like ours isn’t just born smooth and balanced. It takes our carefully crafted process used over hundreds of years to get it just right. This tradition began in 1780 with the great Master Distiller John Jameson who discovered that three distillations was best for his Jameson Irish Whiskey and we continue his legacy to this day.
Our People
You may think of us as just your favourite spirit, but it takes a team of geniuses to create our triple distilled and perfectly balanced whiskey. From our founder, John Jameson, to our modern day Distillery Masters, the people of Jameson are what make it great.
