Celebrating four decades of Midleton Very Rare, BlockBar is offering a one-of-one 40th Anniversary Ruby Edition. This is the pinnacle of its 550 bottle annual release series, numbered 1/1. The expression is presented in a Waterford crystal decanter, hand-encrusted with 32 ethically sourced rubies – breathtakingly rare as the stones are identical, exactingly crafted by Keanes Jewellers. The bottle is hand engraved, with 18-carat solid gold on the neck and stopper. Created by all three revered Midleton Master Distillers and finished in a ruby Port cask, the sale includes a Midleton Distillery experience and donation to The Forest Genetic Resources Trust.
