Description
The 2001 Midleton Very Rare 80 Proof (40% ABV) is a cornerstone of luxury Irish whiskey collections, representing the peak of Barry Crockett’s early 2000s blending mastery. This limited edition vintage is highly sought after by investors due to its unique “tropical” ester profile, which distinguishes it from the spicier releases of the previous decade.
The chemical composition is defined by a significant inclusion of older single grain whiskeys, yielding rare top notes of succulent pineapple, kiwi, and beeswax. These flavors are anchored by a backbone of single pot still spice and creamy butterscotch, a result of the 12–25 year maturation in first-fill ex-bourbon American oak. For those seeking to buy rare Irish whiskey, the 2001 bottling offers a remarkably silky mouthfeel and a delicate, honeyed finish that remains a benchmark for the “Midleton style” of the new millennium.
