Midleton Very Rare 2017 (old style packaging)

The 2017 edition of Midleton Very Rare. This is quite a scarse version is as this is the old style packaging, there was a new bottle design for this vintage as well.

The blend, created by master distiller Brian Nation, comprises single pot still and grain whiskeys drawn from a batch of ex-Bourbon barrels with an age span of 12 to 32 years. Midleton Very Rare 2017 includes the oldest whiskeys used in the blend to date: 32-year-old grain whiskey and 26-year-old single pot still whiskey. Billed as ‘the pinnacle of Irish whiskey’,

Midleton Very Rare was created in 1984 by Nation’s predecessor, Barry Crockett, now Midleton’s master distiller emeritus.
