Midleton is an Irish whiskey distillery located in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland. The distillery operates as part of Irish Distillers and serves as the production facility for several prominent Irish whiskey brands. Midleton produces both blended and single pot still Irish whiskeys using traditional copper pot stills alongside more modern column stills.

Irish whiskey from this region typically employs a triple distillation process, which contributes to a characteristically smooth and approachable flavor profile. Single pot still Irish whiskey, a style closely associated with Midleton, uses a mash bill of both malted and unmalted barley, creating whiskeys with distinctive spicy and fruity notes. The climate and maturation conditions in County Cork influence the aging process, with whiskeys often developing honey and vanilla characteristics from extended cask aging.

The Midleton Very Rare series represents the distillery's premium annual releases, with each vintage showcasing aged whiskeys selected from their extensive cask inventory. These limited releases typically feature whiskeys aged between 12 and 25 years, blended to create complex expressions that highlight the distillery's craftsmanship and the evolution of their house style over time.
