Whiskey has become a luxury satiated by indulgence and class. If you’re searching for your next expensive treat, look no further than Midleton Very Rare‘s Silent Distillery Collection Chapter Five release.

The Irish whisky brand grounds itself in elevated beverages made at its vast distillery in County Cork — an angelic riverside town in Southwest Ireland. Midleton Very Rare is allowing fanatics to taste its annual creation, announcing its opulent, $55,000 USD Silent Distillery Collection Chapter Five whiskey.

The single-pot still whiskey is packed with history, debuting an exclusive recipe with the last remaining droplets from the Old Midleton Distillery, which closed in 1975. As the brand’s oldest liquor ever made, the 49-year-old drink has developed fruity notes of peach, apricot, and dates with sugary undertones of frosted almonds and treasured wood.

After the first few sips, Midleton Very Rare’s Silent Distillery Collection Chapter Five whiskey envelops the senses with herbal tea and dark chocolate contrasted by spiced anise and ginger touches. The taste of salted caramel and toffee apples arises throughout the experience, packaged inside handblown glass bottles produced by Ireland’s Waterford Crystal. The scored container dons frosted accents and gold-plated finishes, housed in an oak burr cabinet designed by John Galvin.

Midleton Very Rare’s Silent Distillery Collection Chapter Five whiskey will be available soon via the brand’s website and at international stockists for $55,000 USD.
