This bottling of a Redbreast is a single pot still whisky from the Midleton distillery in Ireland. The whisky is triple distilled, matured for 21 years and was bottled in 2018.
Midleton is a distillery in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland, which was founded in 1825 by the Murphy family. From the beginning, the distillery was built on a large scale, so that even today Midleton has the largest pot still in the world. At the end of the 19th century, Midleton merged with surrounding distilleries to form the Cork Distilleries Company, which in 1966 merged with Jameson and Powers from Dublin to form Irish Distillers Limited. In 1975 the distillery was closed down and relocated to a new adjacent factory. The old buildings now house a museum.
Ireland has long played a leading role in the world as a whiskey producer. Not only was whiskey (or whiskey-like) distilled very early (from the 14th century onwards), but the sheer number of distilleries that developed over time (by 1800 there were already over 2000 distilleries) is remarkable.
