Silent Distillery Collection

After 45 unhurried years, from its timbered haven, a veiled masterpiece arose – the Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection. This collection honors the last drops of an inimitable spirit before the Old Midleton Distillery went silent forever.

A silent distillery is one that has closed its doors. As rumors of this rare whiskey swirl around, these precious bottlings have become highly sought-after by whiskey enthusiasts.

Old Midleton Distillery was famous throughout the world for Irish whiskey, and when it closed its doors in 1975, it became an iconic part of Irish distilling legend. While other silent distilleries have re-opened, Old Midleton has been fully decommissioned. The Silent Distillery Collection represents some of the last drops of this inimitable spirit before the distillery closed its doors forever.

Whiskey Sublimely Aged for 45 Years

Master Distiller Emeritus Barry Crockett recalls sourcing the peat for this 45-year-old expression, which will be the last peated whiskey from Old Midleton Distillery.

During this time, Barry was learning his trade from his father, Max Crockett, the father of modern-day Irish whiskey. In recent years it has been the work of Master Distiller Emeritus Brian Nation to monitor, sample, and determine the ideal bottling time for this rare whiskey. Former Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman took the helm for the second coveted release.

Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection represents a unique opportunity to taste the work of four legends.
