Redbreast Lustau Edition Sherry Finish
REDBREAST Lustau Edition Sherry Finish is a single pot still Irish whiskey from Midleton Distillery, created in collaboration with Bodegas Lustau of Jerez. Its key differentiator is a final year in first-fill sherry butts seasoned with Oloroso sherry, following initial maturation in traditional bourbon and sherry casks for 9 to 12 years.
This expression is made in the Redbreast single pot still style using a mash of malted and unmalted barley. The whiskey is initially matured in traditional bourbon and sherry casks for 9 to 12 years, then finished for one additional year in first-fill sherry butts seasoned with Oloroso sherry from Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain. It is bottled at 46% ABV.
In the glass it shows a golden amber colour. The nose brings dark fruits, prunes, dates and figs, layered with liquorice, marzipan, toasted oak and aromatic spice. The palate is silky and pot-still driven, balancing assertive spice with the richness of the sherry finish and fresh Spanish oak. The finish is long, sweet and spicy, with Oloroso sherry and oak lingering.
Serve REDBREAST Lustau Edition Sherry Finish neat to focus on its sherry-rich pot still character, or with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Its dark-fruit, spice and oak profile suits relaxed sipping, after-dinner pours and buyers looking for a sherried Irish whiskey rather than a peated or smoky style.
