When people think of Jack Daniel's, they naturally think of Jack Daniel himself. Yet the modern story of Jack Daniel's may owe just as much to another man: Lem Motlow.
Long before he inherited the distillery, Lem was learning the business at Jack's side. By the time Jack's health began to fail, the future of the distillery was already taking shape.

2026 Midleton Very Rare

40% ABV, 700ml.
Serial Number: 00739.
Bottled on 10FEB26.

Nose: Vibrant and fresh citrus aromas of orange peel and lemon zest, accompanied by delicate hints of soft apricot and orchard fruits. These delectable fruit notes are closely followed by sweet tones akin to crème brûlée and toffee. The influence of the American oak enhances the overall structure and character of this aged and complex whiskey, intertwining effortlessly with the pot still spices and the grain whiskey’s floral influence of geraniums and fresh herbal notes.
Palate: A rich assortment of luscious and mouthwatering fruit notes at first, accentuated by the oak’s soft tannins and generous servings of vanilla and cinnamon. Notes of peeled ginger and lemon zest create a fresh and crisp dynamic that complements the indulgent tones of butterscotch and toffee, while the quintessential mouth‑coating nature of the pot still character remains constant throughout.
Finish: The pot still spices are the first to slowly fade, leaving the rich infusion of fruits and oak to linger until the very end. This intricate combination of pot still and grain whiskeys aged in seasoned oak creates a harmonious marriage that showcases the very best of Midleton.

Midleton Very Rare, the pinnacle of Irish whiskey, proudly introduces the Midleton Very Rare 2026 Vintage Release, the 43rd annual expression in this renowned series. Created by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman, this vintage brings together five distinct distillate styles to deliver a whiskey with exceptional balance, vibrant character and remarkable depth. The 2026 release represents a continued refinement of Midleton’s craft, offering an elegantly layered expression that reflects the heritage and mastery behind Ireland’s most distinguished whiskeys.

You may not believe me when I say whisky has a soul.

The angels get their share.
The devils get their cut.
But somehow, the soul survives.

The power of that soul is not determined by the price of the bottle. It grows stronger through the people you share it with, the memories it creates, the stories told, and the friendships made along the way.

The soul survives in the bottle when we reflect on the experiences and emotions connected to it.

A birth year.
An anniversary.
A military retirement.
A wedding.
The birth of a child.

These moments become captured in glass.

You do not simply buy a bottle.
You create and preserve a moment in time.

The best whisky is the one that survived the years and gained depth along the way.
