Midleton distillery is quite simply the greatest distillery in Ireland. From creating the oldest and most valuable Irish Whiskey with their Silent Distillery bottlings, to the incomparable Midleton Very Rare range, which has become the most collectible of Irish whiskeys, with an unbroken chain of releases every year since 1984. The distillery had been the guiding light of Irish whiskey for generations.

Within the atmospheric warehouses surrounding Midleton distillery countless oak barrels sleep soundly as their contents gently improve with age. It was from this incomparable selection of casks that Midleton Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman and The Single Malt Shop selected just one as our very first Midleton Single Cask.

This American virgin oak barrel yielded just 96 bottles of a stunning 24-year-old Midleton that is now exclusively available from The Single Malt Shop.

The culmination of decades of Midleton distillery excellence and Kevin’s years of expertise, this single cask bottling of Midleton was matured in a virgin American oak cask.

Nose- Aromatic wood oils, perfumed smoked oak with ripe peaches and dried banana chips. Pot still spice intensity with dark roasted coffee beans and crème brûlée, characteristics of vanilla and caramelised sugars, while nostalgic notes of warm leather and antique furniture build in intensity, showcasing the many years spent in oak.

Taste – Full bodied texture with the wood tannins and pot still distillate combining effortlessly, while fruit notes of ripe melon and orange peel work in tandem with hints of sweet demerara sugar, salted caramel and white chocolate. Undertones of toasted walnuts and cinnamon linger quietly in the background, slowly building in intensity over time.

Finish – The spices build to a crescendo before softly fading leaving the old oak and sweet fruits to have the final say.

With just 96 bottles created from this barrel it is one of the most limited releases of Midleton whiskey ever and can only be purchased from The Single Malt Shop.
