Midleton Method & Madness Single Malt Irish Whiskey

This Single Malt offers a refined and inventive take on Irish whiskey—rooted in tradition yet bold in its finishing. With a crisp malt foundation, elegant floral top-notes and surprising layers of spice and biscuit, it’s a polished and sophisticated pour that rewards sipping and reflection. Origins & Craftsmanship Crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland, Method & Madness Single Malt begins life as a malt-only Irish whiskey matured in American bourbon barrels. The maturation is followed by a finishing period in French Limousin oak casks—adding nuance, depth and a whisper of continental wood character. Bottled at 46 % ABV, non-chill filtered and naturally coloured, the release demonstrates Midleton’s “method meets madness” philosophy: combining rigorous tradition with creative experimentation. Tasting Profile Nose: Freshly-shelled peanut and cereal malt aromas lead the way, accompanied by delicate floral perfume and subtle orchard fruit undercurrents. Palate: A vibrant entry of cracked cinnamon stick and ice-cream cone wafer sweetness gives way to dry barley biscuit texture, gentle spice and crisp malt character. Finish: The end is elegant and lingering—fragrant bon-bons, a hint of toasted barley and a refined dryness provide the final flourish.
