Midleton Very Rare, the pinnacle of Irish whiskey, proudly introduces the Midleton Very Rare 2026 Vintage Release, the 43rd annual expression in this renowned series. Created by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman, this vintage brings together five distinct distillate styles to deliver a whiskey with exceptional balance, vibrant character and remarkable depth. The 2026 release represents a continued refinement of Midleton’s craft, offering an elegantly layered expression that reflects the heritage and mastery behind Ireland’s most distinguished whiskeys.
Textured layers of sweet honeycomb with soft fruits and delicate herbal undertones. White pepper with a mild hint of chilli oil work in tandem with the nuanced citrus and orchard fruits while the sweet nature of this intriguing whiskey continues to build with decadent flavours of treacle, toffee, vanilla, and sugar glazed fruits.
The pot still spices are the first to slowly fade, leaving the rich infusion of fruits and oak to linger until the very end. This intricate combination of pot still and grain whiskeys aged in seasoned oak creates a harmonious marriage that showcases the very best of Midleton.
