Midleton Silent Distillery 48 Year Old Chapter Four

The Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection honours the final casks that were filled at the Old Midleton Distillery before it fell silent forever. There has been an annual release from this collection since 2020, which will culminate in 2025, marking the 200th anniversary of the of the old distillery.

Chapter four has been aged in an ex-bourbon cask and its release draws on inspiration from the fertile earth surrounding the old and new distillery. The hand-blown crystal decanter from the House of Waterford is housed in a bespoke cabinet from master craftsmen John Galvin. There are complex aromas of manuka honey, caramelised apple and nougat on the nose, with ensuing notes of chilli oil, ginger snap biscuit and stone fruit on the palate.
