The Midleton distilleries complex is situated in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland. It is owned by Pernod Ricard. Located alongside is the Old Midleton Distillery which was established in the early 17th century.

Midleton is one of the most modern distilleries in the world and has its production areas linked via fibre-optic networks.

The distillery boasts three 75,000 litre pot stills, and three column, which are used in combinations of three to produce different types of whiskey.

Other Information

This fantastically rare and sought after bottle of Irish single malt was distilled in 1973 at the Old Midleton Distillery before its closure in 1975. Laid down by the legendary master distiller Max Crockett, it was drawn from two casks; an ex-sherry butt and an ex-bourbon barrel.

Presented in an attractive Waterford Crystal Decanter, the bottle is then housed in a presentation box made from burr elm crafted by Irish designer John Galvin. It is also accompanied by a 5cl miniature of the release.

Just 97 of these decanters were produced.

Insurance against breakage or loss during transit is available at checkout at a cost of 3.5% of the hammer price.
