Tasting Notes
Redbreast 27 Year Old is a true masterpiece, crafted with the utmost care and expertise. This single pot still Irish whiskey has been triple distilled and meticulously matured in a harmonious blend of bourbon, sherry, and ruby Port casks. Upon pouring, the whiskey unveils a captivating aroma dominated by earthy vanilla, desiccated coconut, and toffee notes, followed by tropical fruit hints of mango and pineapple, courtesy of the well-aged Midleton distillate. The palate is a symphony of dark and red fruits, with flavors of black cherries, cranberry juice, blackcurrant compote, prunes, and nectarines dancing on the tongue. Nuances of old leather, peppermint, grapefruit tartness, guava, and caramelized banana add depth and complexity. A touch of charred red chilies brings a delightful warmth, complemented by exotic spices and a drizzle of manuka honey. The finish is truly remarkable, lingering for an eternity, offering a mesmerizing interplay of complex fruity notes, nutty antique wood, aromatic nutmeg, fresh herbs, and a subtle hint of wasabi heat.
