Redbreast Announces Moscatel Wine Cask Edition
Redbreast Irish Whiskey has unveiled Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition, the latest release in the Redbreast Iberian Series.
Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition is a triple distilled, single pot still Irish whiskey initially matured in a combination of ex-American whiskey casks and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, followed by a final maturation period of 16 months in Málaga Moscatel hogsheads sourced from Bodegas Quitapenas in Málaga, Spain. The Moscatel hogsheads were made from European oak and seasoned with Moscatel wine for two years before being shipped to Midleton Distillery, where they were filled with a bespoke batch of Redbreast Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.
Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition is bottled at 46% ABV. Official tasting notes follow:
With a complex flavour journey, the whiskey opens with notes of fresh, sweet tangerine and twisted orange peel, accompanied by delicate herbal notes of chamomile tea with dustings of nutmeg and cedarwood. The wine-seasoned oak imparts vanilla, with notes of floral honey and sugar glazed fruits, while the pot still spices add subtle notes of black peppercorn and clove in the background.
Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition is available from MidletonDistilleryCollection.com, USA, UK, Germany, Ireland, Global Travel Retail, and Brand Homes for a recommended retail price of €100/£85/$109.99.
