Master winner at the Irish Whiskey Masters in 2021, 2022, and 2023! This release is the oldest permanent member of the Redbreast range and one of their most award-winning. This expression has been matured in both bourbon and sherry casks as well as including ruby port casks for the first time to bring even more complexity and depth. Rich flavours of exotic fruits, wood spices and wonderful sweet treacle notes. This is now the fourth batch of this release. 

Nose Spicy, mature and intense on the nose. Notes of prunes, black cherries, all kinds of preserved fruits, orange peel, chocolate covered raisins, mace, cinnamon and cloves.

Palate Powerful, rich and complex. Great mouthfeel and depth of flavour. Amazingly the oak isn't too forceful and the overall impression is one of richness and power in harmony. Flavours of dates, prunes and other dried fruits leading to chocolate caramels, mocha coffee, roasted spices and chicory.

Finish Becomes drier with the oak adding a spicy and tannic flourish.
