The 2016 edition was assembled from a selection of pot still and grain Irish whiskeys aged between 12 and 33 years at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, bottled at 40% ABV.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach Midleton Very Rare vintage is a one-time assembly of casks that peaked specifically that year — the 2016 will never be reproduced. The 2016 was overseen by Master Distiller Brian Nation, who succeeded Barry Crockett. For collectors building a Midleton Very Rare vertical, or for drinkers who want a documented, numbered single-vintage Irish whiskey, each year stands as a distinct expression rather than a repeatable blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich toffee, honey, and creamy vanilla with ripe orchard fruit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and rounded, with a harmonious blend of fruit, gentle spice, and pot still character\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and elegant, warm and refined\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midleton, County Cork, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Irish Whiskey (pot still and grain)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask age range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–33 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/irish-whiskey\"\u003eIrish whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat goes into the Midleton Very Rare 2016?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA selection of pot still and grain Irish whiskeys aged 12 to 33 years, assembled into a one-time vintage that will never be reproduced.
