Midleton Very Rare Vintage Blended Irish Whiskey 2017
A Collector’s Dream

Step into the world of elite Irish whiskey with the Midleton Very Rare Vintage 2017 a bottle that’s not just a drink, but a legacy. As part of Midleton’s prestigious annual releases, this rare vintage stands out for its craftsmanship, flavor, and collectability.

Created by a Master: Brian Nation

Master Distiller Brian Nation personally oversaw the selection and blending of this vintage, ensuring it upheld the brand’s high standards. His decades of expertise bring together tradition and innovation in every sip.

Unlike many distilleries that delegate blending, Brian took a hands-on approach, ensuring the final whiskey reflected both artistry and precision.

Craftsmanship That Speaks for Itself

Every year, Midleton selects only the finest casks for the Very Rare series. For the 2017 edition, the team blended single pot still and single grain whiskeys, all aged between 12 and 33 years.

These spirits matured in lightly charred American oak bourbon barrels, giving the final blend a remarkable balance of depth and smoothness.

While many blends use mass-produced components, Midleton 2017 relies solely on hand-selected barrels chosen for their aging potential and flavor quality.

Tasting Experience: Deep, Elegant, and Refined
Aroma Bright and Inviting

From the moment you uncork the bottle, you’ll notice vibrant aromas of green apple and pear, layered with honey, vanilla, and a soft touch of toasted oak. Hints of gentle spice round out the bouquet.

Palate Smooth and Sophisticated

Your first sip reveals a rich medley of caramel, toffee, and vanilla, followed by cinnamon and nutmeg. As it develops, mature oak, dried fruits, and malty grains add complexity.

Finish – Long and Warming

Expect a finish that lingers with notes of subtle spice, ripe fruit, and polished wood. It’s the kind of whiskey that invites reflection with every taste.

Why 2017 Is a Standout Vintage

Every Midleton Very Rare release brings something unique. However, the 2017 edition holds a special place. It marked a continuation of Barry Crockett’s legacy, carried forward by Brian Nation, adding historical value and collectibility.
