Tasting Notes

Nose

Toasted almond, dark cherry, fig roll, leather, polished oak and a whiff of orange marmalade.

Palate

Classic Redbreast pot still creaminess collides with thick Oloroso sweetness — Christmas cake, walnut, dark chocolate and a peppery pot still bite.

Finish

Long, dry, nutty and faintly herbal with lingering espresso and clove.

First Impressions

Redbreast is the most decorated single pot still whiskey on earth, and the Lustau Edition takes that pedigree on holiday to Andalusia.

Distillery & Heritage

After initial bourbon and sherry maturation at Midleton, the whiskey is finished for roughly a year in first-fill Oloroso butts hand-picked at Bodegas Lustau in Jerez.

Tasting Notes in Detail

The Lustau finish dials up the dried-fruit and nut character without burying the spicy, oily pot still backbone.

Verdict

A masterclass in cask finishing.
