Process & Profile

Method and Madness Virgin Garryana Oak Finish Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is an experimental release from Irish Distillers’ Method and Madness program at Midleton Distillery. It begins as traditional single pot still Irish whiskey, made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and triple-distilled for balance and texture. After initial maturation, the whiskey is finished in virgin Garryana oak, a rare oak species native to the Pacific Northwest. Known for its tight grain and high tannin content, Garryana oak contributes pronounced spice, structure, and depth, offering a bold counterpoint to the creamy, fruit-forward pot still base.
