Midleton Very Rare is hitting the big 4-0! Yep, since 1984, this premium Irish whiskey has been wowing palates, and now, it’s time to celebrate its iconic journey. To mark this momentous occasion, Irish Distillers is rolling out the Midleton Very Rare 40th Anniversary Ruby Edition.
It’s a blend of single-pot still and single-grain Irish whiskeys aged for four glorious decades and finished in a ruby port cask. They’ve even roped in the spirits of past Master Distillers to craft this masterpiece, with each drop bringing a taste of history and innovation.
Now, it’ll set you back €20,000, but hey, I’m sure you can taste the history in every drop. It comes complete with a bespoke crystal decanter from Waterford Crystal and a ruby-encrusted case.
Oh, and there’s even a one-of-a-kind NFT bottle up for grabs because why not add a sprinkle of digital sparkle to the mix?
So Happy Birthday MVR, thanks for 40 glorious years!
