History,
From the Midleton distillery, simply fantastic single pot still Irish whiskey that has been incredibly well received since its release. One of the most decorated Irish whiskeys, Redbreast is the largest selling Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey in the world. This Lustau Edition was born of a unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton distillery thanks to an old friendship. 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.
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.
