Midleton 25,26 & 30 year old casks.

They were definitely three casks bottled at 43% Cask #86583, 86584 & 86585. A total of 1,000 bottles were produced which would indicate about 333 per cask.

This would tally with the 30yo single cask #1831/56 bottled at 40% yielded a total of 300 bottles.

They only unsolved part of the mystery is the 26yo from the same series of which cask #39810 is the only one I am aware of, yet there were 1,000 bottles of this release also so they may be two other casks awaiting discovery.

On the Midleton 26 Year Old,

IDL had six casks from 1973, three were bottled as individual casks for the Midleton 25 Year Old release and the other three were re-casked in a single port pipe for up to a year for the Midleton 26 Year Old and released the following year.
