Midleton Distillery, close to the harbor town of Cork, with several lengths of Ireland’s largest distillery. It is home to one of the world’s largest pot stills and a pearl of highly loved whiskeys such as Jameson, Redbreast, Powers, Paddy, Green Spot and Writers Tears. Many good drops run by the boilers on the distillery, which are almost divided into two; In one part you make Grain Whiskey on column boilers, while in the other typically Irish single pot still whiskey. Grain whiskey is used in Blends such as Jameson, and here is also used the unique Irish single pot still whiskey, which is made with both malted and unpainted barley, but this tapped in larger and larger style without incorporating Grain Whiskey – certainly a good sign for The future of Irish whiskey.
