Redbreast 15 years old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 70 cl 46%

A deep golden colour with an orange sheen hints at what's coming: a full, oily pot still whiskey shaped by decades of experience with Oloroso sherry casks.

Expert Review

Redbreast 15 Year Old is a Pure Pot Still Irish Whiskey matured in Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at 46%.

The whiskey clearly shows the sherry casks' influence with notes of dried fruit, sweet cherries, raisins and chocolate, melting together with toffee, vanilla and a touch of cardamom. The characteristic thick, oily texture Redbreast is known for emerges clearly towards the end of the nosing experience. The whiskey is non-chill filtered, preserving its full, creamy texture.
