Step into the rich heritage of Irish whiskey with Redbreast 15 Year Old, a celebrated expression born at the legendary Midleton Distillery. Created to expand upon the iconic 12-year-old profile, this Single Pot Still showcases the pinnacle of traditional Irish craftsmanship. Using the authentic historic method combining malted and unmalted barley, it delivers a signature velvety mouthfeel and robust personality.
Its impressive depth comes from a meticulous aging regime: an equal combination of American oak bourbon barrels (approx. 50%) and Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts (approx. 50%). Every element of the liquid matures for at least 15 full years, absorbing rich wood character and subtle fruity sweetness. Bottled at a strength of 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, it retains all its natural oils and rich texture straight from the cask.
Tasting this expression is a truly immersive journey. Each sip brings warmth, evoking memories of cozy evenings and shared stories over a glass of refined craftsmanship.
