The Midleton Very Rare 2000, is a bottling brought out by the Midleton Distillery in Co. Cork. The ‘Midleton Very Rare’ range was launched in 1984 and a new vintage has been released every year since then. Barry Crockett started off the ‘Midleton Very Rare’ range while he was the Master Distiller of Midleton Distillery. The Midleton Very Rare range of whiskeys is a collection of highly regarded Irish whiskeys crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. With a reputation for excellence, these whiskeys are known for their exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and limited availability. Characterized by smoothness, complexity, and depth of flavour, Midleton Very Rare often exhibits notes of ripe fruits, honey, vanilla, spices, and oak. The component casks are typically aged for around 12-27 years but each yearly batch is unique and for this reason the whiskeys are highly collectible. To this day the Midleton Very Rare series is still regarded as the pinnacle and benchmark for ultra-premium blended Irish whiskeys.
