Midleton Very Rare 2002 - Irish Whiskey

Midleton Very Rare 2002 is a refined and highly collectible expression from one of Ireland’s most iconic distilleries. Produced at the renowned Midleton Distillery, this release reflects the pinnacle of Irish whiskey craftsmanship, where tradition and precision come together in perfect harmony.

The Very Rare series is celebrated for its annual vintage releases, each individually selected by the Master Distiller. Only the finest single pot still and grain whiskeys are chosen, matured in carefully selected ex-bourbon oak casks. No two vintages are ever the same, making each release a unique snapshot of its year.

The 2002 vintage is admired for its elegance and balance. It offers a beautifully composed profile of soft vanilla, honeyed sweetness, ripe fruits and gentle oak, supported by subtle spice and a smooth, creamy texture. Compared to earlier vintages, the 2002 is often noted for its approachability and finesse, while still delivering the depth expected from the Very Rare series.

What makes this release particularly appealing is its place within the evolution of the series — a period where consistency, precision and global recognition of Midleton Very Rare were reaching new heights.

Midleton Very Rare is the most exclusive whiskey every produced in Ireland. 
Distilled three times by John Jameson and Son, the whiskey is carefully aged in individually chosen casks. Midleton Very Rare is only available in strictly limited quantities as just a small number of casks of the finest distillates are personally selected by the Master Distiller each year. It is reserved for the appreciation of only the most discerning judges of fine whiskeys.
