Detailed Description
Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in copper pot stills, Redbreast 10-Year-Old highlights some of the more distinctive qualities of traditional Single Pot Still whiskey.
Matured in a combination of bourbon seasoned American oak barrels and oloroso sherry seasoned Spanish oak butts, this historic redbreast style is a joy to behold in each and every bottle.
Last released in the early 1970’s, Redbreast 10-Year-Old has been bottled at cask strength and released exclusively for members of the Redbreast Birdhouse to salute the continued revival of Single Pot Still Whiskey.
Redbreast 10 Year Old Irish Cask Strength Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: A mix of exotic fruits and red berries complemented by fresh herbs and wood spices. Vanilla sweetness and treacle toffee combine with the nuttiness of toasted oak.
Palate: Incredibly rich in texture with a luxurious combination of ripe stone fruit and summer berries balanced by the prickle of a hint of chili oil. Cherry menthol, vanilla, and cinnamon sweet spices complement red pepper, nutmeg, and toasted oak.
Finish: A satisfyingly long balance of ripe fruit and wood spices worthy of a journey of nearly three decades.
