About This Product

Redbreast Lustau Edition is a single pot still Irish whiskey with a pronounced sherry character and a silky, spice-led palate. Created through a collaboration between Midleton Distillery and Bodegas Lustau, it brings dark-fruit richness to the familiar Redbreast style.

Prunes, dates and figs meet marzipan, liquorice and toasted oak, with warming spice balancing the sweetness. Its rounded texture carries the flavours into a long finish shaped by Oloroso sherry and Spanish oak.

The additional year in Lustau sherry casks makes this an inviting choice for drinkers who enjoy richly sherried whiskey with a clear pot still character.

Tasting Notes

A richly sherried pot still whiskey with dark fruit, marzipan and warming spice, carried by a silky texture.

Nose: Prunes, dates and figs give a concentrated dark-fruit opening. Liquorice and marzipan add depth, with toasted oak and aromatic spice providing a warm, woody background.

Palate: Silky and rounded, with assertive pot still spice balanced by the richness of the sherry finish. Spanish oak adds structure, supporting the fruit-rich character without obscuring the underlying spirit.

Finish: Very long, with sweetness and spice lingering together. Oloroso sherry and Spanish oak become the defining notes as the flavours gradually fade.

Cask & Maturation

Lustau Edition begins with nine to twelve years in bourbon and sherry casks before a further year in first-fill Spanish oak sherry butts. These finishing casks are seasoned with Oloroso from Bodegas Lustau in Jerez. The additional maturation deepens the sherry character, bringing dark-fruit richness and oak spice into balance with the silky pot still spirit.

  • Initial maturation: Nine to twelve years in bourbon and sherry casks.
  • Finishing casks: First-fill Oloroso sherry-seasoned Spanish oak butts.
  • Sherry partner: Bodegas Lustau, Jerez, Spain.
  • Finishing period: One additional year.

How to Enjoy
  • Neat: Serve at room temperature in a tulip-shaped whiskey glass, taking time to explore the aromas before sipping.
  • With water: Add a few drops, taste again and adjust gradually to find your preferred balance.
  • Over ice: Use a large cube in a tumbler for a cooler serve that dilutes slowly.
  • With food: Try fruitcake, dark chocolate or mature cheese. Compare each pairing with the whiskey on its own to see how the flavours interact.
  • Storage: Keep upright, tightly closed and away from direct sunlight and heat.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Redbreast is one of Ireland's most celebrated Irish whiskey brands, with roots dating back to 1903, when Dublin wine and spirits merchants W. A. Gilbey began bottling whiskey sourced from the Jameson Distillery. The Redbreast name first appeared in 1912, reportedly inspired by the chairman's fondness for robin redbreasts. With a long history rooted in Ireland's traditional whiskey bonding industry, Redbreast has become particularly renowned for its dedication to single pot still Irish whiskey – a style deeply connected to Ireland's distilling heritage. Now produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, the brand remains a proud symbol of Irish whiskey craftsmanship and tradition.
