It is first and foremost a micro-distillery founded within Midleton itself: a veritable laboratory of experimentation orchestrated by <strong>Brian Nation, master distiller, Kevin O&#8217;Gorman, master of maturation, and Billy Leighton, chief blender<\/strong>. These three great professionals work hand in hand with Midleton&#8217;s young apprentices. While the latter are destined to take over from the former, their role is also to<strong>imagine the future of spirits<\/strong>, blending <strong>tradition<\/strong> and<strong>heritage<\/strong> with<strong>innovation<\/strong> and the <strong>need to push back the boundaries<\/strong>. <strong><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">At the heart of this modern, unconventional distillery,<strong> transmission rhymes with innovation <\/strong>.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Method and Madness was created to explore <strong>new styles of Irish whiskey<\/strong>, not only in terms of distillation techniques, but also in terms of ageing techniques in original casks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In 3 sentences, Method and Madness is :<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; a brand that&#8217;s not <strong>afraid to try new things<\/strong>, but always builds on the solid foundation of tradition and knowledge.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; a brand that <strong>will surprise you<\/strong>, but will always remain true to its philosophy of tradition and audacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; a brand created by people who have a <strong>lot of knowledge<\/strong> and love for what they do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16344 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/vin-champagne.ouest-france.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Method-and-Madness_Single-Grain_Marbling_V1-1024x648.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Method-and-Madness_Single-Grain_Marbling_V1-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Method-and-Madness_Single-Grain_Marbling_V1-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Method-and-Madness_Single-Grain_Marbling_V1-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Method-and-Madness_Single-Grain_Marbling_V1-1536x972.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Method-and-Madness_Single-Grain_Marbling_V1-2048x1296.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Method and Madness whiskeys <strong>shake things up<\/strong> by offering a <strong>singular range<\/strong> comprising a single malt, a single pot still and a single grain.
