Product Description
The Midleton Silent Distillery series honours the last casks that were filled by the stills of the Old Midleton Distiller, before it fell silent forever. The third chapter in this series is a 47-year-old Irish single malt whiskey, housed in a hand-crafter Waterford crystal decanter and presented in a bespoke elm burr cabinet from master craftsman John Galvin. Aromas of forest fruits, sticky cherries, toffee, almond, leather-bound books and pipe tobacco fill the nose, complemented by notes of dark-roast coffee, crushed hazelnut, dried herbs, peppery spice and sweet dried fruit throughout the palate.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
From The Producer
Nose
The first impression is a rich medley of forest fruits. Notes of sugar-glazed cherries, earthy and toffee tones of muscovado sugar and almond flake follow, complementing the oak’s enduring influence on the spirit. Aromas reminiscent of worn, leather-bound ledgers and pipe tobacco linger, while measured levels of pot still spices add their own delicate presence.
Palate
Opens with a luxuriously rich and full-bodied texture accompanied by notes of freshly brewed dark roasted coffee, caramelised fruits, crushed pistachio and hazelnut. Hints of dried herbs and peppermint add further complexity, along with the oak’s soft tannins and subtle pot still spices.
Finish
A lasting finish finds soft fruits and old pot still spices lingering in harmony with the oak and emphasises how decades of undisturbed ageing can create such balance and complexity.
