“As we celebrate 200 years of whiskey making excellence at Midleton
Distillery, it is a true honour to craft a vintage that commemorates
this remarkable legacy. Midleton Very Rare 2025 is a whiskey of depth
and balance, meticulously composed from six distinct distillate styles,
each representing generations of mastery, innovation, and dedication
that have become synonymous with Midleton Very Rare. This milestone
release not only pays tribute to the past but also looks to the future. As
we honour this historic occasion, my team and I remain committed to
laying down more extraordinary whiskeys that will continue to shape
and inspire the Midleton Very Rare legacy for the next 200 years and
beyond.”  - Kevin O’Gorman, Master Distiller

NOSE
Opens with sweet waves of caramelised apple, toffee fudge and
vanilla, while the subtle herbal and floral notes of freshly picked
garden mint and lavender slowly build over time, complementing
the woodland spices of cinnamon and nutmeg thanks to the rich
influence of the American oak. The pot still spices, and sweet
grain character of this intricate whiskey come together, creating
structure and complexity while complementing the fruits and oak.
TASTE
Textured layers of sweet honeycomb with soft fruits and delicate
herbal undertones. White pepper with a mild hint of chilli oil work
in tandem with the nuanced citrus and orchard fruits while the
sweet nature of this intriguing whiskey continues to build with
decadent flavours of treacle, toffee, vanilla, and sugar glazed fruits.
FINISH
Rich and lasting. The fruits begin to softly fade, leaving
the oak and pot still spices with the final word.
