Ireland's Most Prestigious Annual Release.

Midleton Very Rare 2022 Vintage Release is the continuation of a legacy that began in 1984, when Master Distiller Barry Crockett first brought together the very finest whiskeys from Midleton Distillery to create something truly extraordinary. Each annual vintage is a carefully curated blend of the rarest pot still and grain whiskeys, selected by hand from the distillery's most exceptional casks. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), the 2022 release is a testament to over three decades of uncompromising Irish whiskey craftsmanship.
