Midleton Master Distillers 1973 Cask numbers.

Postby Good Whiskey Hunting » Sun Jun 17, 2012 8:49 pm

I've seen that the Midleton Master Distiller's come from 2 casks ,41421 and 41422 on various sites but always assumed it was a mistake, because mine comes from cask number 41423.

I checked Adrian's site and he has a photo from 41422

I'll attach a picture of mine below. I came across this on the net, it appears to be from cask 41421

http://www.drinkstore.ie/MIDDLETON-1973-700ML-10103317/
and this on is from Midleton and it too appears to be bottle 260 from 41421
http://www.singlepotstill.com/midletono ... ther_1973&

the bottle numbers are confusing too, the one above appears to be in the 200's
IrishWhiskeyChaser's photo is 078 and mine is 230.

I would have though they have 1- 400 from one and 401-800 from the other.

Am I mistaken that there's more than 2 casks?

Given they are cask strength, 266 bottles per cask would tally with the release of cask #41421 cask #41422 & cask #41423

Question is can we find a higher bottle no than 266?

Cask #41421 = bottle #279 on http://www.whiskybase.com
Cask #41422 = bottle #078
Cask #41423 = bottle #210 on http://www.homeofwhisky.blogspot.com
bottle #269 for good whiskey hunting

I'd mentioned to whiskybase.com that my bottle was from cask 41423 and noticed it is now included.

I'll check around different sites and see if I an idea what sequence came from which cask.
Here's another picture of that one Cask #41421 = bottle #279 I found.

this is also from 41423 = #105

and just to trough another spanner in the works, this is bottle #025 from cask 41423. I can't figure out what way they may go now.
