Description
Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter 5 is a breathtaking celebration of heritage, legacy, and the quiet perseverance of time. Distilled nearly half a century ago at the Old Midleton Distillery—long since fallen silent—this remarkable 49-year-old release represents the penultimate chapter in the prestigious Silent Distillery Collection. Originally crafted under the watchful eye of legendary Master Distiller Max Crockett and safeguarded across generations by Barry Crockett, Brian Nation, and now Kevin O’Gorman, this whiskey is a testament to guardianship, patience, and absolute dedication to craft.
Matured in an exceptional American oak ex-bourbon cask—lovingly maintained since the 1970s and famed for its resilience—it has nurtured the spirit with unwavering finesse, shaping a whiskey of spellbinding elegance and depth. Presented in an exquisitely mouth-blown Waterford crystal decanter and housed in a handcrafted tiger oak burr cabinet adorned with leather and sterling silver, Chapter 5 stands not only as a magnificent whiskey but as an heirloom of Irish whiskey artistry.
