Description

A landmark release celebrating four decades of Midleton Very Rare Irish whiskey excellence — an exceptionally rare opportunity for serious collectors.

Released in 2024 to commemorate 40 years of the iconic Midleton Very Rare series (1984–2024), the Ruby Edition stands as one of the most prestigious Irish whiskeys ever produced.

Crafted under the stewardship of Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman, this extraordinary expression brings together exceptional distillates laid down over four decades by Barry Crockett, Brian Nation, and Kevin O’Gorman.

The whiskey was finished in a rare Ruby Port cask, a symbolic tribute to the 40th anniversary milestone.

Bottled at 53.1% ABV, this release showcases the signature elegance of Midleton Very Rare, adding layers of depth from the port influence — rich dark berry fruits, subtle oak spice, pot still character, and a luxuriously long finish.

Only 550 bottles were produced worldwide, each presented in a hand-crafted Waterford Crystal decanter, housed in a bespoke luxury display cabinet.
The decanter’s four-point design represents the four decades of Midleton Very Rare’s legacy.

Midleton

The New Midleton distillery has been described as “the engine that drove the growth of Irish whiskey” and it is easy to understand why that statement describes the huge complex that is based in Midleton, Co. Cork. Many brands that are known worldwide for the smooth subtle Pot Still Taste that is uniquely Irish are sourced from the new Midleton Distillery. Brands such as Redbreast, Green spot, Yellow spot, Powers, Paddy and the now ubiquitous Midleton Very Rare are all produced by one of the most modern distilleries in the world and their growth is only possible by the scale at which the new Midleton distillery produces various styles of Whiskey. The older expressions of whiskey from the midleton distillery are some of the most sought after and you would be lucky to find a comparable product elsewhere.
