Midleton Very Rare, Silent Distillery Chapter 4
Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter 4 is a 48 Year Old that prioritises distillery character over cask theatrics. Drawn from just two ex-bourbon casks of pot still and grain whiskey, it retains remarkable freshness for its age. Expect ripe orchard fruit, vanilla custard and restrained oak spice, carried on a silky, confident texture. Bottled at 53.9%, it feels purposeful and composed. This is a master distiller’s whiskey, not a showpiece.
