Midleton Very Rare 2022 is the first vintage composed by Kevin O'Gorman, appointed Master Distiller at Midleton in 2020 and the heir to a lineage of blenders who have made this annual release one of Irish whiskey's most anticipated. 40% volume.
THE BLEND: single pot still and single grain whiskeys aged between 12 and 33 years, married in ex-bourbon casks selected by the master distiller for character and consistency rather than the youngest commercially viable age. The pot-still spices and the grain-whiskey sweetness sit together at a finished-blend density that no individual cask achieves alone — the architecture is the work.
SERVING: pour neat at room temperature in a tulip glass — the long finish is the point and ice will close it. A single drop of cool water can lift the citrus dimension. At the table it pairs with a slow-cooked beef cheek, an aged Coolea or Cashel Blue, dark chocolate with sea salt, or a Honduran maduro cigar where the pot-still spice and the wrapper's earth find common ground. Equally a Manhattan with La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Rouge — the Irish weight needs the richer vermouth.
