Midleton Single Cask Whiskey
Irish Distillers Ltd has released ten exclusive Single Pot Still single cask whiskeys under the celebrated Midleton brand.
The first Single Pot Still single cask was released as a customer exclusive at the Celtic Whisky Shop in November 2010 and it sold out very quickly.
This success has led Irish Distillers Ltd to extend the range to other retailers including The Whisky Exchange.
Each bottling has been matured in ex-bourbon casks, true to the Midleton style, which have been charred and seasoned with bourbon. The individual casks, which were laid down between 1991 and 1999, have yielded, on average, 185 bottles – making the range highly collectable. Each expression is presented in a premium bottle, following the same design cues as Midleton Very Rare, the most exclusive whiskey produced at The Midleton Distillery.
Barry Crockett, Master Distiller at Midleton Distillery, says: “The Midleton brand name is synonymous with excellence in craftsmanship and the extension of the Single Pot Still single cask releases has allowed us to further showcase the quality of the Single Pot Still style to whiskey connoisseurs, who eagerly anticipate opportunities to taste Midleton whiskeys. The response to the release of cask #71578 in 2010 was phenomenal, so I anticipate a similar reaction this year and look forward to discussing each cask with Single Pot Still whiskey advocates.”
