Redbreast Lustau Edition Sherry Finish Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 700ml @ 46% abv
Born of a unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton Distillery thanks to an old friendship. Redbreast Lustau Edition is initially matured in traditional bourbon and sherry casks for a period of 9-12 years. It is then finished for 1 additional year in first fill hand selected sherry butts that have been seasoned with the finest Oloroso sherry from the prestigious Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain.
Redbreast dates back to 1903 when Jameson entered into an agreement with the Gilbeys Wines & Spirits Import Company to supply them with new make spirit from their Bow St. Distillery. The custom of that era was that distilleries sold bulk whiskey to bonders who, being in the business of importing fortified wines such as sherry and port, had ample supplies of empty casks in which to mature new make whiskeys under bond.
Silky smooth Pots Still, assertive spices balanced with richness of the sherry finish and contribution of fresh Spanish Oak.
Endless sweetness and assorted spices endure while Oloroso Sherry and Spanish Oak have the last word.
