Redbreast Lustau Edition Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a distinguished expression that embodies the rich heritage of Irish whiskey. This exceptional spirit is the result of a unique collaboration between Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton Distillery, showcasing a meticulous process that marries malted and unmalted barley. Following triple distillation in traditional copper pot stills, it undergoes maturation in both bourbon and sherry casks, before being finished in Oloroso sherry casks sourced from the renowned Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain. This attention to detail creates a whiskey that is rich in character and flavor.
The nose is an inviting blend of dark fruits, such as prunes and figs, enriched by notes of liquorice, marzipan, and toasted oak. As you take a sip, the silky smoothness of the Pot Still whiskey harmonizes beautifully with the assertive spices and the sweetness imparted by the sherry finish. The experience culminates in an endless finish, where the interplay of sweetness and Pot Still spices lingers delightfully, leaving a lasting impression of Oloroso Sherry and Spanish Oak. Redbreast Lustau Edition is not just a whiskey; it’s a sensory journey through the heart of Ireland's distillation tradition.
