Irish Distillers uses domestic chestnut wood for rare whiskey maturation
What happened
Irish Distillers is using chestnut wood for secondary maturation of its Midleton Very Rare Sweet Irish Chestnut whiskey. This whiskey combines single grain and single pot still whiskeys aged between 17 and 24 years. The company chose to source the sweet chestnut domestically, rather than purchasing it from France or Spain.
