Midleton’s 200th anniversary release. Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman selected whiskeys from the historic A2 Warehouse and brought together six distinct distillate styles for the first time in the Very Rare series. A higher proportion of pot still whiskey brings stone fruit and spice, while the mature grain whiskeys add butterscotch and vanilla.

Tasting notes — Caramelized apple and vanilla lead, with hints of mint and nutmeg. Honeycomb, citrus and toffee fill out the palate, followed by a touch of white pepper and a long, gently spiced oak finish.
