Irish Whiskey - Midleton
The Old Midleton Distillery was founded in the early seventeenth century. The distillery is located in the town of Midleton approximately 20 kilometres east of Cork City in the south of Ireland. The Irish whiskey industry was booming at the time and the distillery soon had an incredible 200 people employed and produced 1.5 million litres of whiskey.
In 1975 production at the Old Midleton Distillery was moved to the New Midleton Distillery which was built right next to the original one. The new distillery was built by the newly formed Irish Distillers Group. The beautiful Old Midleton Distillery currently serves as a visitor centre where the history of Irish whiskey may be studied.
The New Midleton Distillery produces whiskey for four different brands; Jameson, Paddy, Powers Gold Label and Midleton. The distillery also produces a significant volume of grain whisky.

Midleton Very Rare, a magnificent blend of the finest distillates hand-picked by the Master Distiller, Barry Crockett, is one of Ireland’s most exclusive whiskeys. Whiskeys from the old Midleton distillery have always been acknowledged as special. Thus, this top Irish whiskey takes its name from the east Cork distillery town. This whiskey is aged between 12 and 25 years, and is matured exclusively in seasoned Bourbon barrels. Midleton Very Rare was launched in 1984 to celebrate the whiskeys of the Midleton distillery, and a new vintage has been released every year since then. Each bottle carries its own individual number and the signature of our Master Distiller. This annual release of a new vintage is a departure for the whiskeys of Irish Distillers where consistency from year to year is highly valued. The individual nature of the selection process for each vintage of Midleton Very Rare means that each year’s vintage provides its own character. Prized among collectors, we know of very few collections of all vintages since the first in 1984. Winner of Gold at the 2005 San Francisco World Spirits Competition |
