Each precious bottle from the Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery collection is presented in a bespoke cabinet hand-made by John Galvin, an award-winning Irish designer and woodworker who was born in County Cork, just a few miles from Old Midleton Distillery.

Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection Chapter One is the only release in this collection to have been created as a peated single malt, pure innovation for Irish whiskey at the time, and rare still today. Decades in the making, the third-fill sherry cask that has influenced this whiskey has been lying dormant for 45 years. The cask contributes notes of ripe honeydew melon, red berries and sweet spices of toasted oak.

February 2020 heralded the launch of the first release from Ireland’s oldest ever whiskey collection. Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection is a collection of six releases, the first of which is a 45-year-old Irish single malt. There will be one release annually until the year 2025, ranging in age from 45 to 50 years old, all from the fabled Old Midleton Distillery (operating 1825-1975). The last release will coincide with a historic event, Old Midleton Distillery’s 200th birthday.
