Cheers,Scott and JakeBourbon Lens (Image Credit: Method and Madness Irish Whiskey) About Method and Madness: Inspired by spirits that go beyond the bounds of tradition, Method and Madness Irish whiskey has been hatched from the minds of the Masters and Apprentices of Midleton Distillery.  Innovation is nothing new to Midleton, but the Method and Madness micro distillery has provided the copper canvas for experimentation to run free. The whiskeys coming from this distillers' playground provide a new taste inspired by Irish whiskey history. The range includes Method and Madness Single Grain Irish Whiskey finished in Virgin Spanish Oak, Method and Madness Single Malt Irish Whiskey finished in French Limousin Oak, Method and Madness Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey aged in French Chestnut and Method and Madness Irish Micro Distilled Gin with Black Lemon and Irish Gorse Flower.  Always innovating, the Masters and Apprentices explore different mashbills and wood types resulting in new and unusual limited-edition releases including the Method and Madness Japanese Trilogy, Method and Madness Oats and Malt and Method and Madness Rye and Malt.
