The Midleton Very Rare 2012 is a distinguished release from the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. Part of the Midleton Very Rare collection, which was first introduced in 1984, this series has seen a new vintage released every year since then. Barry Crockett, the Master Distiller at the time, was instrumental in launching the Midleton Very Rare range. The Midleton Very Rare lineup is renowned for its exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and limited availability. These highly regarded Irish whiskeys are known for their smoothness, complexity, and depth of flavor, with tasting notes that often include ripe fruits, honey, vanilla, spices, and oak. The component casks are typically aged between 12 and 27 years, but each yearly batch is unique, which makes these whiskeys highly collectible. Today, the Midleton Very Rare series remains the pinnacle and benchmark for ultra-premium blended Irish whiskeys, consistently regarded as one of the finest expressions in the world of Irish whiskey.
