Redbreast Lustau Edition
Details
Redbreast is regarded by many as the definitive expression of single pot still Irish whiskey. When the world demanded lighter, more accessible whiskey styles, Redbreast stood steadfast in its belief of the tradition and significance of this style of whiskey and for the past century, has retained the standard bearer for single pot still Irish whiskey.
A unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and Midleton Distillery, Redbreast Lustau Edition is made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in copper pot stills. Having spent its final maturation journey in casks seasoned with the finest oloroso sherry in the Bodegas Lustau, the result is the ultimate sherried style of Redbreast.
Tasting notes:
Nose: rich infusion of dark fruits, prunes, dates and figs with liquorice, marzipan, toasted oak and aromatic spices.
Taste: silky smooth pot still; assertive spices balanced with richness of the sherry finish and contribution of fresh Spanish oak.
Finish: Endless. Sweetness and assorted spices endure while oloroso sherry and Spanish oak have the last word.
