Description
The oldest expression from Redbreast so far, this is a combination of malted and unmalted barley matured in a mixture of bourbon barrels and first-fill oloroso casks, resulting in a rich and complex whiskey.

NOSE
Rather closed and restrained; takes time to unravel. Tightly knit malt, lots of spiciness lurking underneath.
-
PALATE
Mint and menthol appear from nowhere, along with a big, rich spiciness, and suddenly you realise the complexity you?re dealing with: cinnamon and clove, apple, mango, biscuit, oats, white pepper, but all well defined and distinct.
-
FINISH
Very long lasting, with the spices and fruit all lingering. This needs time to contemplate.

Producer’s Notes
-
NOSE
Remarkable aroma spanning fresh tropical fruits, nuts and rich dried fruit.
-
TASTE
Soft vanilla, toasted oak, sherry nuttiness with a dusting of pot still spices. Luscious fleshy fruit notes complete the creamy mouth feel.
-
FINISH
Lingers, seemingly forever, to oak and pot still spices and then the final bow from the barley ? where it all began.
