2010Established in 1984 by Master Distiller Barry Crockett, Midleton Very Rare has become one of Ireland's most prestigious annual whiskey collections. Each vintage is individually composed from selected stocks at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, creating a distinctive expression that reflects the character of its release year.
The 2010 vintage belongs to the celebrated Barry Crockett era, preceding his retirement in 2013. It combines mature single pot still and grain Irish whiskeys, selected for their balance, depth and elegance.
Maturation in American oak casks contributes delicate vanilla sweetness, orchard fruit character and subtle spice, while the influence of traditional Irish pot still whiskey brings additional richness and complexity.
Bottled in 2010 and individually numbered, this vintage offers collectors an opportunity to acquire an increasingly mature piece of Midleton's history. Its appeal lies in both its limited annual production and its association with one of Irish whiskey's most influential master distillers.
