Middleton 45 Year Old 1974

Bottle 48/48.

This is the first release in Midleton's Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection, and they've started the show with a showstopper - it's a 45 year old peated Irish single malt, matured in a third-fill sherry cask and bottled at cask strength. Produced in 1974 at the old Midleton distillery before it closed a year later, the cask was laid down by legendary master distiller Max Crockett (father of also legendary master distiller Barry Crockett).
