Method and Madness

Method and Madness Gin is produced by the Micro Distillery at Midleton. This Irish Micro Distilled Gin contains 16 eclectic botanicals led by black lemon and Irish gorse flower, giving it notes of citrus and spice with a touch of lavender.

A world first for Irish whiskey, this limited-edition release takes Method and Madness Single Pot Still and finishes it in Mulberry wood casks, virtually unknown for ageing spirits. The whiskey has flourished by spending time fusing with the flavours from the Mulberry casks imparting notes of orchard fruits and smoked paprika to intrigue the senses.

From the Midleton Distillery comes a series of experimental Whiskey releases. This particular one asked the question: What if we take a step away from the familiar with a Single Grain whiskey aged in Virgin Spanish Oak casks? Without giving too much away, the two made very good partners, with a taste of gentle wood spice playing off the natural sweetness...

A Single Malt whiskey laid down in Midleton in 2002 finished in French Limousin Oak. A first for Midleton, resulting in light perfume notes giving way to dry barley and ice cream cone wafer.

One of the two special limited edition releases from Method & Madness. This single pot still was matured for 6 years in bourbon barrels before being recasked for a whopping 22 years in a Ruby Port cask. It goes to show that innovation seems to be a thing that Midleton distillery have been practising for a very long time! 

A Single Pot Still whiskey aged in chestnut casks, a combination of what they've always done in Midleton and what they’ve never tried before. It’s not often they stray from the traditional oak, but one sip suggests it was well worth the deviation.

The quest for uncommon casks led Midleton to the Carpathian Mountains of Hungary and the rich volcanic soils that give rise to Quercus Petraea, Virgin Hungarian Oak and Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey – a curious combination, with a very special outcome. This Limited Edition release is a ‘World- First’ for Irish Whiskey; a Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey...

A world first, this limited-edition release is a Single Pot Still Irish whiskey aged in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, finished in wild cherry wood casks. Wood from the cherry tree is characterised by its porousness; adding complex flavours of fine wine, capers and ginger spice.
