The best selling Irish Single Pot Still in the World, Redbreast is made at the New Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. Born of a unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton Distillery, Redbreast Lustau Edition is initially matured in traditional bourbon and sherry casks for a period of 9-12 years. It is then finished for 1 additional year in first fill hand-selected sherry butts that have been seasoned with the finest Oloroso sherry from the prestigious Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain. We are big fans, in general, of all the Redbreast drams-- for those of us with a soft spot for sherry-aged spirits, this is a must have!
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Malt, creamy toffee, rich dark fruit, complex baking spice, dark honey, butterscotch, hazelnuts, creme brûlée and a light bit of anise. Rich and velvety the aroma is quite alluring.
Palate: Coppery malt, dark sweets, dark fruit, candied citrus, creamy vanilla pudding, hazelnuts, figs, orchard fruit and a touch of spice. The palate is even richer and heavier than the aroma.
Finish: Long slow drawl of apples malt, caramel, sherry and copper that fades out to a lemony dark fruit leather.
