Description
Chapter Two of the Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection is an astonishing 46 year old single pot still whiskey which was distilled at the Old Midleton Distillery back in 1973. This is bottle number 25 of only 70 produced!!
The whiskey has spent time in bourbon, sherry, and Port casks, and was finally matured in a third-fill bourbon cask before being bottled up in immensely snazzy crystal decanters from House of Waterford. Each one comes in a presentation box made by Irish designer and woodworker John Galvin, alongside a 50ml miniature of the same whiskey.

About the Distillery:
The Midleton Distillery is the unequalled giant of Irish distilling, and the producer of some of the island’s best loved whiskeys, including Jameson, Redbreast and Powers. It can deservedly be seen as having saved the ancient tradition of whiskey making in Ireland, persevering alone through the gradual slump and near-on full collapse of Irish whiskey production, brought on by Prohibition and lasting through to the 1970s..
The New Midleton Distillery (right beside the Old one) was opened in 1975 by Irish Distillers. The company had been formed after three smaller distilleries, Jameson, Powers and the Cork Distillery, banded together for the sake of survival and shifted all their individual production to the only location fit for proper expansion.
