The Midleton Very Rare 2003 is a distinguished release from the renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork. Part of the iconic Midleton Very Rare range, which was first introduced in 1984, this series has seen a new vintage release every year since. Barry Crockett, former Master Distiller of Midleton, played a pivotal role in crafting the inaugural collection. This bottle, along with its presentation box, remains in excellent condition and includes both the distillery invitation and certificate. The Midleton Very Rare collection is celebrated for its exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and limited availability. Known for its smoothness, complexity, and depth of flavor, it often features tasting notes of ripe fruits, honey, vanilla, spices, and oak. Typically aged for 12 to 27 years, each yearly release is unique, making them highly sought after by collectors. To this day, Midleton Very Rare is considered the pinnacle of ultra-premium blended Irish whiskeys.
