Redbreast 15 years

Redbreast 15 Years is a stunning expression from the iconic Redbreast range, offering an even deeper and more complex experience than its younger 12-year-old counterpart. This Irish single pot still whiskey is crafted at Midleton Distillery and aged in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a rich and layered character with a refined balance of sweet, fruity, and spicy notes. Loved by connoisseurs, it is praised for its long and elegant finish.

Tasting notes

Nose

A refined and expressive aroma with ripe pears, juicy apricots, and dried tropical fruits. The sherry cask influence is evident, bringing notes of raisins, nuts, and dark honey. Subtle hints of vanilla, toasted oak, and warm spices like cinnamon and clove develop beautifully.

Taste

A full and silky texture that immediately fills the palate with rich fruity tones of plums, dried orange peel, and apple compote. Honeyed sweetness is enhanced by creamy touches of milk chocolate and butterscotch. The bourbon and sherry casks provide a perfect balance between sweetness and spice, with peppery and nutty nuances adding depth.

Finish

Long, warming, and harmonious. The sweet and fruity notes linger beautifully, while spicy and lightly smoky oak accents add extra complexity. A wonderfully refined conclusion that invites another sip.
