The peated single malt whiskey was distilled in Midleton, Co Cork, in 1974 and has been maturing since then.
While other silent distilleries have re-opened and been brought back to life, Old Midleton has been fully decommissioned and will never produce again. Irish Distillers says it will pave the way for new beginnings in the world of ultra-rare, luxury Irish whiskey. Barry Crockett took over from his father as Master Distiller in Midleton in 1981, assuming responsibility for the maturation of the Irish single malt among his many other responsibilities at the complex distillery.Reflecting on the €35,000 price tag on each bottle in the collection, he describes distilling as a form of art.
"It’s among the very last remaining whiskey distilled through the largest pot still in the world, a skill which, in its own right, required great refinement of the distiller’s art."
