There's a particular kind of light that pours out of Málaga, and somehow it found its way into this glass. Redbreast has always known its way around a sherry butt — this time it went looking for sunshine instead.

Expert's Description

Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition is a Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, first matured in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and Spanish oloroso sherry casks, then finished for 16 months in Moscatel wine casks, bottled at 46%.

It's the fifth release in the acclaimed Iberian Series, and the first ever to use a Moscatel finish. The casks come from Bodegas Quitapenas in Málaga, a family-run bodega with roots stretching back to 1880, now led by fifth-generation custodians Marta Suárez Prieto and Víctor Suárez Onrubia. The Moscatel wine itself spent 24 months in American oak before the casks were emptied and shipped on to Midleton Distillery, where they've been shaping Redbreast's pot still spirit since June 2024.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh and floral, with zesty tangerine and orange peel, dustings of nutmeg and a base of rich, creamy vanilla oak.

Palate

Vibrant, ripe fruit meets toffee and honeycomb, with subtle dried herbs running underneath and the oak keeping everything anchored.

Finish

Long and spiced, with the classic pot still character and a wine-seasoned sweetness that lingers well after the last sip.

Rye is a harder grain to work with than barley. But it is also a grain with more character — spicy, peppery, dry and more insistent in flavour. Reinheart has matured their rye for six years and bottled it as a Small Batch. This is a more mature expression than the younger releases and shows what time does to rye.

Expert description

Reinheart Rye Whiskey 6 Year Small Batch is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 45%, bottled at 50 cl. It is matured for six years and produced as a Small Batch bottling — meaning from a limited number of casks at a time. Reinheart is a Danish micro-distillery producing rye and malt whiskies with a focus on craftsmanship and Danish raw materials. Six years is a respectable age for a Danish rye whiskey and gives the cask time to soften rye's natural edges.

Tasting notes

Nose

Peppery and spicy with characteristic rye aroma. Sweet vanilla and caramel from the cask. Lightly bakery-like — rye bread and a hint of cinnamon stick.

Palate

The rye character is central — dry, spicy and insistent with oak and caramel in the background. 45% is a good strength for this expression — enough to carry the flavour without being harsh.

Finish

Long and spicy with dried fruit and rye bread. Warm and satisfying.

Rye whiskey has historically dominated the American market, but in Scandinavia, rye is a natural grain with long agricultural traditions. Reinheart using Danish rye to produce whiskey is a combination of the best of two worlds — local raw material, global whisky tradition.

Cask #2 is one of two bottlings from Reinheart's 2015 distillation — this barrel at 56.8%. A bourbon-inspired rye whiskey from a Danish-German collaboration, aged 7 years in a Toast M / Char 4 American oak cask.

Expert description

Reinheart Rye Whiskey Cask #2 2022 is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 56.8%, distilled in Germany in 2015 and bottled in December 2022 as a Single Cask from Cask #2, in a limited run of 250 numbered bottles. The mashbill is 70% rye, 20% corn and 10% malted barley. Matured in an American virgin oak cask (Toast M / Char 4) at Vintre Møller in Central Zealand, Denmark. Bottled by Hammer & Son. The founders of the project came up with the idea after a pub crawl in 2012, aiming to make a classic rye whiskey in the bourbon tradition.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh rye, vanilla and oak. Light spice notes — cinnamon, black pepper — with a soft honey character from the oak maturation.

Palate

Balanced and spicy. Rye dominates with its characteristic dryness, but the oak's vanilla and caramel are present. Marginally softer than Cask #3 at 56.8%.

Finish

Long and dry. The spice holds and the oak closes with a rounded note.

Henrik had an idea during a pub crawl in 2012: make a rye whiskey in the Kentucky bourbon tradition but with a Danish anchor. It took until 2022 to see the result. Cask #3 is one barrel from that journey — bottled at 59%.

Expert description

Reinheart Rye Whiskey Cask #3 2022 is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 59%, distilled in Germany in 2015 and bottled in December 2022 as a Single Cask from Cask #3, making it 7 years old.

The distillate was aged in an American virgin oak cask (Toast M / Char 4) at Vintre Møller in Central Zealand, Denmark. Bottled by Hammer & Son. This is a Danish-German co-production showing that Danish whisky need not be distilled in Denmark — but can be aged and bottled here.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh rye and vanilla from the American oak. Light spice notes — ginger, black pepper — and a suggestion of honey and caramel.

Palate

Intense and spicy. Rye's characteristic dryness and spice meet the oak's sweetness. Light fruit and caramel in the mid-palate, with a dry rye finish.

Finish

Long and dry with lingering spice and oak. The rye's fingerprint holds.

Rossville Union 5 Year Master Crafted Straight Rye Whiskey has matured for 5 years, the brand's core expression, bottled at 47%. Rossville Union is named after the Rossville Distillery, founded in 1847 by George Ross in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, during rye's golden age. Ross built his distillery atop a water reservoir, providing limestone-filtered water that prevented sulphur and iron compounds from harming the whiskey's flavour. After Prohibition, the distillery was bought by Canadian company Seagram in 1933, and after several changes of ownership, MGP took over the site in 2011. Rossville Union Rye, launched in 2018, was MGP's first rye product under its own name, after decades of supplying rye whiskey to other brands.

Expert description

Roughstock Montana Black Label Whiskey USA is a more powerful, unfiltered version of the distillery's barley-based single malt whiskey, bottled at 61.5%. RoughStock Distillery opened in Bozeman, Montana, in 2009 and was both the first legal distillery in the state since Prohibition and the first to open in Montana in over 100 years, made possible by a 2005 change in state law. The distillery was founded by fourth-generation Montanans Bryan and Kari Schultz, who mortgaged everything they owned to realise the idea that 'Montana' and 'whiskey' belonged together. Unlike most American whiskeys, RoughStock uses local Montana barley instead of corn and rye.
