Midleton Very Rare Irish Chestnut Edition

Irish whiskey, Irish wood and Midleton at its most adventurous, a genuinely fascinating addition to the Very Rare collection.

A remarkable new expression from Midleton Very Rare, the Irish Chestnut Edition showcases both the craftsmanship of Midleton Distillery and the character of one of Ireland's more unusual native woods.

This cask-strength Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey has been finished in virgin Irish sweet chestnut hogsheads, crafted using wood sourced from the historic Cappoquin House estate in Co. Waterford.

Bottled at 56.1% ABV, triple distilled and non-chill filtered, the Irish Chestnut Edition allows the rich, spicy character of Midleton's Single Pot Still whiskey to meet the distinctive influence of Irish sweet chestnut. The result is a powerful yet beautifully refined whiskey, with layers of fruit, warming spice and rich wood character developing across the palate.

An intriguing and highly distinctive Midleton release, and a fascinating addition for collectors and lovers of exceptional Irish whiskey.
