Midleton Very Rare, Silent Distillery Chapter Two

Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter Two forms part of Ireland’s most exclusive whiskey series, drawing from the final casks of Old Midleton, which closed in 1975 after 150 years of operation. Distilled in 1973 and matured through bourbon and port casks, the 46-year-old release was overseen by four generations of master distillers, with Kevin O’Gorman making the final call to bottle it. Limited to just 70 Waterford crystal decanters, the release celebrates the survival of traditional pot still Irish whiskey through decades of change. Chapter Two cements Midleton’s Silent Distillery Collection as a defining moment in Ireland’s fine spirits renaissance.
