Having achieved â¬35,000 for a bottle of very rare 45-year-old Irish whiskey, last year, Jameson parent Irish Distillers is now hoping to go one better with an even more expensive whiskey
The asking price for the second release in its Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection is â¬40,000, which makes it one of the most expensive Irish whiskies to ever go on sale.
The collection is believed to be the Stateâs oldest with six releases planned between 2020 and 2025, ranging in age from 45 to 50 years old.
The release is described as âan exceptional 46-year-old single-pot-still Irish whiskeyâ distilled in the signature style of the Midleton distillery in Co Cork, which closed in 1975.
Gardai investigating the activities of an international fraud gang operating in the Republic have made five arrests and carried out searches in three counties after intelligence-led searches under Operation Boxplot.
Last year gardaà began investigating a group of men in the north Cork area on suspicion they were part of a coalition of criminals targeting businesses in Ireland and abroad in invoice redirect scams.
Detectives from the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau came into information about the suspects that linked them a wider group of criminals based in Ireland who were already under investigation under Operation Skein for the same alleged crimes.
