Child Item

Midleton Very Rare

mikeecho

Given the hype over MVR 20, and the continued hype over '21.
I thought it might need it's own thread. (,Mods delete if necessary)

Anyway,.. I'm both a drinker & collector.

Luckily I've managed to bag a few bottles for both myself and my children.

I'll definitely open one soon enough.

But I found it more difficult this year to buy them than any other year.

For those that didn't get a bottle today, the number of bottles being released will be similar to that of 2018/19. There'll be lots to go around.

Check out your local Tesco/dunnes/ SuperValu, from Monday onwards.

There will be more demand, due to the volume of new collectors & speculators, but if u want one, you'll get one.

I've been give a bottle of Barry Crockett Legacy as a gift and I'm just wondering if it's worth storing for a few years, is it one where the value will more than likely go up?

I know little to nothing about whiskey so thanks for opinions

I'll mind it for ya.

They being said, most on here are of the "drink it" sort and as the BC is genuinely a gorgeous drop, I'd be of the same opinion.

Bottle of 2021 Midleton I was watching on Catawiki auction just went for 600 euro.

It's a lovely gift. It was released in 2011 and is still available for sale so it's not a limited release like the annual Midleton Very Rare or something like the Dair Ghaelach series. I saw a few go for around 220 at auction in the last two months. There has been a couple of packaging redesigns which might be a factor for collectors one day. I'd say it'll remain steady price wise unless it's discontinued but that doesn't look likely at the moment.

As Bonnie says I'd drink it as it's a stunning whiskey and certainly lives up to its name.

Drink it, that's likely what the giver intended you to do.

Small scale whiskey investment - one or two bottles - is near impossible to make money on due to the fees.

There is never a shortage of idiots.

There is another release of the 2021 in June/July and another release in oct/nov where you can get it for 180.

So someone’s got one bottle where they could have got 3.
One to drink, two to keep for a few years and get your 600 back easily.

It's madness especially at the moment with MVR 20 and 21. I follow the auctions fairly closely out of interest but I've never bought anything off them as I'd end up drinking anything I bought for investment.

I got an email earlier today than Celtic Whiskey Shop were selling some stock of the 2019 - priced â‚¬250. Out of curiosity I checked the site now and it's sold out. So still a lot of interest there.

Celtic Whiskey will have more 2019 for sale tomorrow.

On sale now.

for 250 though. I've seen it in stock in Tesco and Dunnes fairly recently for it's normal retail price. The hoopla over 2020 and 21 seems to have created a demand that wasn't there for 2019 though it's still in stock

Yeah I saw it up North a few months ago in an off licence for 130 Sterling.

Is it not a bit strange that this latest 2019 batch is 75cl ?
I would have thought all releases to be a consistent 70cl.

I wonder if it could have been destined for a market where bottle size is 750ml.
Drop in travel retail sales.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. There's an image posted on another thread of a pallet load in a warehouse and on the side of one of the cases is a label with 'USA' clearly visible.

Yeah it's US stock.

Hi,
Just wondering if there is a place where people sell/exchange MVR? I'm not into this at all but my husband started to collect them in 2013 and has all of Brian Nation's collection, except for 2020. I know they're like gold dust but he has two of some years so hoping he might get lucky in a swap if their is a hole in their collection.....can anyone direct us to a virtual marketplace? Thanks very much

Looking to pick up a bottle of this for a present, wasn't expecting the demand to be so high. Does anyone know anywhere with it in stock currently? Preferably not for sky high prices.

A bottle of 2020 or 2021.?

2021 will be back in shops in the coming months.

[Deleted User]

Some time in July for the next batch and the remainder in October is what I've heard. There will be higher quantities available too.

Doesn't matter if they drop later on in the year. If I had put my bottle in the auction when i thought about it, I'd have a tidy profit to spend on other whiskey to drink.

Anyone have updates on when to expect the next batch of very rare 2021 to be released?

Anywhere you can pre order for when it is released.

Also a pre order for 2022?

[Deleted User]

When the last batch was released we were told July for the next one, now we are being told September before it's out again.

mikeecho

AFAIK , they are making sure that they have stock for the Xmas/ corporate market.

It'll be interesting to see that the 2022 roll out will look like.

Got a bottle of the 2016 when it was released and kept it for a special occasion. Only found it again recently. Wondering if it's worth holding onto for another few years? From a quick Google it seems to have been the last release before they modernised the bottle and box. Wondering if that would make it more collectible?

Ian OB

Change in packaging happened in 2017. Its possible to get that year in both packaging styles.

If after 5 years you haven't touched it you may as well sell it.
