AboutMidleton Distillery
Old Midleton Distillery opened in County Cork in 1825. In 1966, Cork Distilleries Company joined John Jameson & Son and John Power & Son to form Irish Distillers. A new distillery opened beside the old site in 1975, taking over production of Jameson and Powers as distilling at the original Midleton plant ended.
Midleton Very Rare began in 1984, when Master Distiller Barry Crockett drew together selected pot-still and grain whiskeys for an annual vintage release. Brian Nation and then Kevin O’Gorman succeeded Crockett in selecting these annual blends.

Redbreast 15 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey
Berry fruit and aromatic oils lead the nose, with dried fruit, caramel and toasted wood adding depth. The palate is full and composed, bringing stone fruit and fresh orchard fruit together with baking spice and a gentle nutty richness. Maturation in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks gives the whiskey both sweetness and structure, while the pot-still character keeps the texture lively. The finish is long and sophisticated, carrying spice, fruit and polished oak. Serve neat or add water gradually.
Redbreast 21 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey
Fresh tropical fruit, nuts and rich dried fruit form an abundant, layered aroma. The palate is silky and generous, combining soft vanilla, toasted oak and sherry-like nuttiness with fleshy fruit and a measured dusting of spice. Maturation in American bourbon barrels and first-fill Spanish Oloroso sherry butts builds depth while preserving freshness. The finish is exceptionally persistent, with oak, spice and barley lingering together.
Midleton Very Rare 2009 Irish Whiskey 750 mL
Irish Whiskey
Rich yet polished, with toasted nuts, fudge and apple crumble on the nose, lifted by an intriguing flash of chilli and ripe banana. The palate is velvety and measured, bringing vanilla-coated apple, butterscotch and cracked cinnamon over a smooth grain-led core. Spice remains restrained, allowing the creamy orchard-fruit character to stay clear. The finish is elegant and persistent, tapering through soft sweetness and mellow oak.

Jameson Irish Whiskey 375 mL

Pot-still and fine-grain whiskeys are blended, and the spirit is triple distilled. The aroma is light and floral, with sweet notes and spicy wood. Barley grown in Ireland and water from the Dungourney River are used in production, and maturation takes place in oak casks. The documented profile combines a gentle fragrance, sweetness, wood and spice in a smooth style.
