A golden bottle of liquid culture hand selected by the Master Distiller once each year. 
 
Irish Distillers stubbornly adhere to their time-tested methods and practices for making the world’s most popular Irish Whiskeys, including — among others — the famous Jameson, Redbreast and Green Spot.  

Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey is named after Midleton — the location of the distillery. This golden bottle of liquid culture is hand selected by the Master Distiller Brian Nation once each year from a limited selection of premium ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks aged between 12 and 25 years.

Only 50 casks are made each year… that’s it. And if you don’t get your share it’s your own dang fault you cheeky bastard!

Member Reviews and Ratings of Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey
Robert
Robert,
Great whiskey!!
 
Shannon
Shannon,
I love this. Vanilla, honey, caramel and spice. So delicious!
 
Christopher
Christopher,
Very smooth and vanilla is the most forward flavor. I’m not sure I’d call it “spicy.” The finish is almost like a cobbler. Really tasty, but I think there are other comparable whiskeys for 1/3 the price.
 
Jay
Jay,
Maybe I don't know the difference between "spicy" and "harsh" (or whatever the opposite of smooth is). I wouldn't say it was that smooth and had more burn than I was expecting. (which, less burn = smooth to me) Maybe that's wrong. It would be fine at $40 but not $200. Not saying it's bad but not what I was expecting.
 
Bryan
Bryan,
Very smooth. My favorite Irish whickey. I always have a bottle around the house for special occasions.
 
Harold
Harold,
Well worth the price. I’ve sampled a lot of high end spirits. This is one of the smoothest, creamy whiskey’s I’ve drank.
 
Brian
Brian,
Liquid gold. World’s finest whiskey.

2008 vintage. Smooth, sipping whiskey

long aftertaste, oak vanilla peaches. it's what got me into exploring liquor
 
Daniel
Daniel,
This was by far the smoothest Irish Whiskey I’ve ever tasted. I can’t wait to get my hands on another bottle
 
Stephen
Stephen,
I've always been a big fan of the Midleton family of Irish whiskeys. 'Up 'til now, the Crockett issue has been my favorite. Very Rare rates a close enough second, that I'll gladly substitute one for another when one is unavailable.
 
Deven
Deven,
Completely smooth and full of flavor
 
Ken
Ken,
When you the packaging on most products, they all claim to be the best, but Midleton is definitely the pinnacle of Irish Whiskey. Full of flavor and smooth as silk. It has all the things yo want in an amazing pour, none of the things you don't. Most certainly a real treat!
 
Lawrence
Lawrence,
Spicy nose. Pepper. Vanilla. Bourbon. Ginger. Smooth. Medium finish fruit
 
Andras
Andras,
Irish Whiskey is always a tough cookie. Either too smooth or too sweet. This one is for sure a blend, but probably the best. It takes all the best from the ingredients and yields the most balanced Irish stuff. Not a daily dram, this is the Chirstmas Special.
 
Zane
Zane,
This whiskey makes me wish I were more successful so that I could afford to drink it every day.
 
John
John,
Together with Barry Crocket and Redbreast 21 Year Old, this completes the Irish Whiskey Trinity. And absolute gem of a drink, and very collectible.
 
Jennifer
Jennifer,
Smooth, flavorful, not harsh, lots of vanilla and caramel, hint of apple
 
Joseph
Joseph,
Fantastic whiskey. The sweet vanilla aroma and taste of the whiskey make this drink by far one of the best whiskey's I have tasted. Always find my way getting my hands on this whiskey.
 
Robert
Robert,
So smooth and amazing!
 
James
James,
I've now had the 2003 and 2017 release of this liquid gold. Truly one of the best Whiskeys I've ever tasted. The 2003 had a bit more of a vanilla flavor than the 2017 but both are fantastic. At first the 2017 was frustratingly smooth, if that is a thing. But after the 3rd sip the flavor started to pile up and what a treat! It is so smooth my wife even enjoyed an entire glass with me!
 
Ken
Ken,
Had this at my local Irish pub on St. Patrick's day and it was amazing. So smooth, and absolutely delicious!

A rare treat from Ireland!
 
Wesley
Wesley,
This is one heck of a whiskey. The best Irish Whiskey I have tasted. There are certainly older Irish whiskies but are they available to the masses? I think not. This is one heck of a big creamy vanilla bomb. Yes there is oak. Just enough spice to remind you that it’s whiskey you’re drinking. Did I say there’s vanilla? Oh yes and more creamy vanilla.
