The Home of Irish Whiskey
With a distilling history dating back to the 19th century, Midleton’s renowned bounty has been said to have drawn whiskey into being. From its beginnings on the banks of the crystalline Dungourney River, Midleton Distillery’s links with the land run deep and long. Of course whiskey is also the lifeblood of a people and their aspirations. And this town has always been a pioneering community, from the moment the Murphy family started to distil here in 1825. Through times of great hardship, the roots of Irish whiskey production remained strong in West Cork, and the industry’s resurgence in the 1980’s saw the launch of the Midleton Very Rare range of vintages to critical acclaim.
Master Distiller
Kevin O’Gorman describes becoming Master Distiller at Midleton Distillery as quite simply a privilege. Having held the role of Master of Maturation since 2007, he knows the warehouses of Midleton like the palm of his hand, and as the incumbent Master Distiller, this makes him uniquely qualified to oversee all of production at the distillery.
