2015First introduced in 1984 by legendary Master Distiller Barry Crockett, Midleton Very Rare has established itself among Ireland's most celebrated premium whiskey collections. Each annual vintage is carefully composed from selected whiskey stocks at Midleton Distillery in County Cork.
The 2015 vintage was created under Master Distiller Brian Nation, who succeeded Crockett in 2013. It represents the continuation of Midleton's renowned tradition of producing individually numbered annual releases, each with its own distinctive character.
Crafted from a combination of mature single pot still and grain Irish whiskeys, the 2015 release was matured in American oak casks, contributing layers of vanilla, delicate fruit and gentle spice. The result is a beautifully balanced blend reflecting Midleton's characteristic refinement and craftsmanship.
Now more than a decade since its original bottling, the 2015 vintage offers collectors an opportunity to acquire an earlier Brian Nation-era expression from this prestigious annual series.
