The new Midleton is an enormous modern distillery in County Cork built by Irish Distillers in 1975 to streamline the production of its many brands. This brought an end to nearly 200 years of Jameson production in Dublin, but the Old Jameson Distillery in Bow Street is now a visitor's centre. Tourists can also visit the Midleton complex, which is home to many other brands beside Jameson, including Green Spot, Paddy, Power's, Redbreast and Tullamore Dew.
The Midleton distillery's flagship brand is Midleton Very Rare, which is a small batch blend released annually.
‘This has eclipsed and redefined the perception of Irish Whiskey..Astonishing.’ Peter Mulryan, Whiskey Critic
