About the product
Midleton Very Rare Barry Crockett Legacy is a premium single pot still Irish whiskey created in honor of Barry Crockett, the former Master Distiller of Midleton Distillery and one of the most influential figures in modern Irish whiskey. Crafted from a selection of the finest pot still distillates and matured primarily in American bourbon barrels, this exceptional whiskey showcases the elegance, complexity, and smoothness that have become hallmarks of the Midleton name. Unlike the annual Midleton Very Rare releases, Barry Crockett Legacy is a permanent expression designed to reflect Barry Crockett's personal vision of Irish whiskey excellence. Rich, refined, and beautifully balanced, it is regarded as one of Ireland's finest premium whiskeys.
