Midleton Very Rare 2024 Release
Midleton Very Rare 2024 Vintage Release (70cl, 40% ABV) is one of those bottles that sits right on the line between “special occasion dram” and “proper annual-release collectible”. It’s the 2024 edition of the long-running Midleton Very Rare series, curated by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman, and built around a blend of pot still and grain whiskeys matured in American oak—classic, polished Irish whiskey with pedigree and broad appeal.

Tasting Notes (typical profile)
Expect a refined, approachable style: soft orchard fruits, vanilla and honeyed oak up front, with gentle spice (think cinnamon/nutmeg) and a smooth, lingering finish. It’s designed to be elegant rather than aggressive—exactly why Midleton Very Rare works so well as a “giftable” prestige Irish whiskey, while still having enough depth to keep enthusiasts interested.
Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- Annual vintage release with strong collector recognition (the Midleton Very Rare name carries weight).
- Curated by the Master Distiller and positioned as a prestige bottling—ideal for display, gifting, or building a vertical.
- A safe, high-demand style: 40% ABV, polished and accessible, which tends to keep the audience broad at auction.
Condition / Notes for Buyers
As always with modern premium releases, value is strongly tied to presentation. If your bottle includes the original box and paperwork, it’s worth calling that out clearly in the listing photos and condition notes. If there’s any label scuffing or box wear, mention it—these bottles are often bought as gifts or for collections.
If you tell me whether yours is boxed (and any visible condition issues), I’ll tighten the Condition section to match your usual wording exactly.
