Redbreast Launches 18 Year Old Irish Whiskey
Redbreast Irish Whiskey has announced the launch of Redbreast 18 Year Old, a new permanent expression in the Redbreast portfolio.
Crafted from malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills, Redbreast 18 Year Old was matured in a combination of ex-bourbon, oloroso sherry, cream sherry, and ruby port casks, and bottled at 46% ABV.
Official tasting notes for Redbreast 18 Year Old follow:
Nose: Delectable berry fruit aromas of ripe blackcurrants and raspberries accompanied by sugar glazed cherries and dried fig. Indulgent tones of hazelnut chocolate and caramelised stone fruits with warming and fragrant notes of toasted almonds and cinnamon, nestled alongside polished oak and worn leather.
Taste: Full-bodied and rounded, with the oak tannins complementing the decadent sweetness of sun-kissed grapes and autumnal fruits. Vibrant spices of freshly peeled ginger and hints of liquorice weave amongst the wine seasoned oak influences of dried fruits, dark berries and orange peel.
Finish: Rich and lasting. The pot still spices, fruit and oak slowly fade harmoniously, showcasing the balance of this wonderfully complex whiskey.
Redbreast 18 Year Old will be available beginning this month for a suggested retail price of $249.99.
