Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter 5 is a breathtaking celebration of heritage, legacy, and the quiet perseverance of time. Distilled nearly half a century ago at the Old Midleton Distillery—long since fallen silent—this remarkable 49-year-old release represents the penultimate chapter in the prestigious Silent Distillery Collection. Originally crafted under the watchful eye of legendary Master Distiller Max Crockett and safeguarded across generations by Barry Crockett, Brian Nation, and now Kevin O’Gorman, this whiskey is a testament to guardianship, patience, and absolute dedication to craft.

Matured in an exceptional American oak ex-bourbon cask—lovingly maintained since the 1970s and famed for its resilience—it has nurtured the spirit with unwavering finesse, shaping a whiskey of spellbinding elegance and depth. Presented in an exquisitely mouth-blown Waterford crystal decanter and housed in a handcrafted tiger oak burr cabinet adorned with leather and sterling silver, Chapter 5 stands not only as a magnificent whiskey but as an heirloom of Irish whiskey artistry.

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep antique gold with rich amber flashes, reflecting decades of calm maturation.

Nose: Gracefully layered and contemplative. Delicate stone fruits lead first—peach, apricot, and date—gently entwined with sugared almonds, worn leather, and polished antique wood. Waves of vanilla essence, treacle toffee, and heather honey evolve into earthy woodland tones, while a soft lift of white pepper lingers elegantly in the background.

Palate: Luxurious, silky, and deeply expressive. A bright opening of citrus zest and ripe stone fruit unfolds into a beautifully textured pot still richness. Developing oak tannins introduce herbal tea notes, dark chocolate, and refined spice, with ginger warmth lifting sweet layers of salted caramel, toffee apple, and honeyed oak. Every sip reveals remarkable complexity, harmony, and poise.

Finish: Long, graceful, and profoundly satisfying. Decades of maturation unveil an enduring tapestry of spice, orchard fruit, aged oak, and sweetness. The pot still character speaks last—refined, assertive, and unforgettable—while the oak slowly, elegantly fades.
