Midleton Very Rare 2021 Release is a standard release without strong scarcity signals such as a single vintage, a long age statement, a single-cask outturn or a limited edition. Its secondary-market value is driven mainly by ongoing auction demand for Midleton rather than by built-in rarity.
These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
