Distillery Information
In Midleton near Cork the typical Irish single pot still whiskey is produced, which is unique to Ireland. Unlike with single malt, not only malted barley but also unmalted barley is processed in the triple pot still procedure. Those who favour the classic production style will even insist that the share of unmalted barley be higher. Different whiskey labels produced at Midelton have different proportions of malted/unmalted barley. The best-known single pot still whiskeys are Redbreast, Midleton, Powers and Green Spot Whiskey. Friends of these whiskeys especially like their purity, smoothness and fruitiness.
