Redbreast Announces Cuatro Barriles Edition
Redbreast Irish Whiskey, produced by Irish Distillers at Midleton Distillery in Co. Cork, Ireland, has launched Redbreast Cuatro Barriles Edition exclusively to Global Travel Retail.
Redbreast Cuatro Barriles Edition is the fourth expression to join the Redbreast Iberian Series, a collection of Irish whiskeys that celebrate the brand’s long-standing connection to some of the Iberian Peninsula’s most recognized cooperages and winemakers.
Redbreast Cuatro Barriles Edition is a triple distilled, single pot still Irish whiskey created by marrying together whiskey aged in four distinct cask types – American ex-bourbon, Spanish oloroso sherry butts, Portuguese tawny port hogsheads and European virgin oak casks.
Official tasting notes for Redbreast Cuatro Barriles Edition follow:
Nose: Toasted wood with a decadent and enticing selection of fresh and dried fruits, including notes of freshly picked plums, raisins, fig, and orange peel. Aromas of sweet vanilla with light dustings of nutmeg are carefully balanced by nutty and herbal undertones, while the pot still spices enhance the overall body and complexity of this wonderfully balanced whiskey.
Taste: Rich with spices of cinnamon and nutmeg at first with delicately drying tannins thanks to the toasted oak and wine seasoning. The spices quickly subside to reveal generous waves of dark berry fruits with marzipan, smoked almonds and salted caramel.
Finish: Satisfyingly long. The pot still spices are the first to fade, while leaving the oak and fruits to continue lingering effortlessly until the very end.
Redbreast Cuatro Barriles Edition is bottled at 46% ABV and is exclusively available now at Dublin and Cork Duty Free at a recommended retail price of €108.
