Midleton Very Rare 45 year-old Whisky on sale now.
A very rare 45-year-old Irish whiskey goes on sale on Tuesday priced at €35,000 a bottle. Only 48 bottles of Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection Chapter One, believed to be the most expensive Irish whiskey, have been released.
The whiskey, described as being “very rich with deep, dark spices”, is the first in a collection of very old Irish whiskeys to be put on the market by Midleton. There are plans to release six different 40 to 50-year-old whiskies, one a year, between now and 2025.
The first release is a 45-year-old peated single Irish malt created by master distiller emeritus Max Crockett a year before the original distillery closed in 1974. It was part of a series of innovative trial batches, never repeated.
