Redbreast 21 Year Old is the pinnacle of the Redbreast range and one of the most revered Single Pot Still Irish whiskeys in the world. Crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, this rare expression is aged for at least 21 years in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks. The result is a whiskey of exceptional depth, complexity, and refinement — a true collector’s piece and a triumph of Irish whiskey-making tradition.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Deep golden amber with a rich, copper glow.
Nose: Complex and inviting, with an interplay of tropical fruits, ripe banana, pineapple, and mango, layered with sweet vanilla, toasted oak, marzipan, honeycomb, and subtle spices.
Palate: Full-bodied, rich, and silky smooth. Flavours of stewed red fruits, sultanas, and orange zest combine with roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and warm baking spices. The signature sherry influence adds a luscious, rounded sweetness.
Finish: Long, complex, and elegant, with lingering notes of oak spice, dried fruit, and a gentle nuttiness.
Serving Suggestions: Best enjoyed neat in a wide-bowled glass to fully appreciate its extraordinary aromas and flavours. A splash of water can help unveil further layers of depth and complexity. Perfect for savouring on the finest occasions or gifting to discerning collectors.
