Midleton Very Rare Vintage Blended Irish Whiskey 2016 | 80 Proof
The 33rd Masterpiece in the Midleton Legacy
The Midleton Very Rare Vintage Blended Irish Whiskey 2016 is the thirty-third release in the world-famous Midleton Very Rare collection. Crafted under the watchful eye of Master Distiller Brian Nation, this whiskey continues a proud Irish tradition of excellence.
Since 1984, the Midleton Very Rare series has been known for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Each annual release brings together the finest single pot still and grain whiskeys, aged between 12 and 25 years in ex-Bourbon American oak casks. These carefully chosen barrels create a perfect balance of smoothness, depth, and character.
A Flavor Experience Worth Celebrating
The Midleton Very Rare 2016 offers a tasting journey that’s both rich and refined. On the nose, you’ll notice sweet vanilla, honey, toasted oak, and orchard fruits. These aromas lead naturally into a silky palate filled with creamy toffee, spiced pear, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
As the flavors unfold, hints of caramel, roasted nuts, and gentle oak spice appear. The finish is smooth and lasting, with soft notes of caramel, citrus zest, and vanilla. Each sip delivers warmth and sophistication, reminding you why Midleton remains one of the most luxurious Irish whiskey brands in the world.
Crafted by Brian Nation
This release marks one of Brian Nation’s early triumphs as Master Distiller at Midleton. He built on the foundation laid by Barry Crockett, combining tradition with innovation. Brian personally selected each cask, ensuring that every bottle reflects the perfect balance between maturity and freshness.
His dedication and attention to detail helped keep the Midleton Very Rare 2016 among the most respected Irish whiskeys of its era. It’s a whiskey that truly represents the heart and soul of Irish craftsmanship.
A Collectable Irish Whiskey
Collectors and whiskey enthusiasts eagerly await each Midleton Very Rare release. Because of its limited production, the 2016 vintage quickly became a sought-after treasure. Over time, these bottles often increase in value, making them ideal for serious collectors and investors.
Each bottle is individually numbered and presented in a premium wooden case, emphasizing exclusivity and prestige. Whether you display it proudly or open it to share on a special occasion, the Midleton Very Rare 2016 is an unforgettable experience.
