Redbreast Lustau Edition marks an exceptional encounter between Irish Single Pot Still tradition and Spanish sherry mastery. Crafted from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, this remarkably smooth whiskey undergoes a unique maturation. After initial aging in American and European oak casks (ex-bourbon and ex-sherry), it spends a final year perfecting its character in Oloroso casks hand-selected by the renowned Bodegas Lustau in Jerez. An outstanding 70 cl bottle (46% ABV) packed with rich spices and dried fruit.
Step into a unique collaboration between two masters of craft: Midleton Distillery in Ireland and the iconic Bodega Lustau in Jerez de la Frontera. Redbreast Lustau Edition is more than a whiskey—it is a sensory journey where Irish warmth meets the sun-drenched richness of southern Spain.
Imagine the velvety texture of a legendary Irish Single Pot Still elevated by the intense character of sherry-seasoned oak. The journey begins with triple distillation in copper pot stills, yielding unmatched smoothness. The spirit first matures for 9 to 12 years in a balanced combination of American oak ex-Bourbon casks and European oak ex-Sherry casks (approximately 60% ex-bourbon and 40% ex-sherry).
Then comes the masterstroke: the whiskey is finished for an additional year in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, seasoned exclusively for Redbreast by Bodegas Lustau.
The tasting experience is pure emotion. It steps away from rigid tradition to offer a luscious, creamy mouthfeel. Perfect for seasoned collectors seeking depth or anyone wishing to elevate a celebration with friends, every sip delivers comforting warmth and a seamless harmony between noble oak and rich fruitiness.
