This, Redbreast’s latest release, is a limited edition and highly sought-after dram. This is a single pot still Irish whiskey that is part of Redbreast’s Iberian series. This particular expression was matured in bourbon casks and olosoro sherry casks, before a finishing in PX hogsheads. This multi-faceted maturation has left its mark and then some on the whiskey. This is a sweet, rich dram that is free from chill filtration and artificial colouring. As a one-off, this is a riotous success in our eyes.
Expect aromas of toasted pine nuts, baking spices, sweet sherried fruits, and raisins to fill the nose. The palate is full of flavours of raisins, plums, cherries, orange zest, and toasted oak. The finish is velvety smooth, sweet, and perfect for a pairing with a fine chocolate.
