Introducing Redbreast 18 Year Old, the first permanent addition to the Redbreast family in four years. This exquisite expression brings a fresh twist to the classic Redbreast style with the incorporation of cream sherry casks.
Matured by Redbreast's Master Blender in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and casks seasoned with oloroso sherry, cream sherry, and ruby port, this Single Pot Still Whiskey reaches new heights. Bursting with rich aromas of berry fruits, hazelnut chocolate, and caramelized stone fruit sweetness, this latest addition offers an enticing range of flavors that beautifully enhance the signature Redbreast character.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Delectable berry fruit aromas of ripe blackcurrants and raspberries accompanied by sugar glazed cherries and dried fig. Indulgent tones of hazelnut chocolate and caramelised stone fruits with warming and fragrant notes of toasted almonds and cinnamon, nestled alongside polished oak and worn leather.
Palate: Full-bodied and rounded, with the oak tannins complementing the decadent sweetness of sun-kissed grapes and autumnal fruits. Vibrant spices of freshly peeled ginger and hints of liquorice weave amongst the wine seasoned oak influences of dried fruits, dark berries and orange peel.
Finish: Rich and lasting. The pot still spices, fruit and oak slowly fade harmoniously, showcasing the balance of this wonderfully complex whiskey.
