A New Redbreast Expression

For the first time in nearly four years, Redbreast has added a new member to its permanent flock of whiskies, with its 18-year-old expression taking flight. Like the other single pot-still whiskies in the brand’s core lineup, Redbreast 18 prominently features liquids aged in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry cask but distinguishes itself with the incorporation of whiskey aged in ex-cream sherry casks. According to master blender David McCabe, the 18 offers “a new taste profile for the Redbreast permanent range while still offering something that feels distinctly Redbreast in its style.” The whiskey aged in ex-cream sherry casks layers on unexpected flavours of chocolate, orange, and sea salt. A rare bird indeed.
