Description
A Masterpiece of Irish Whiskey
The 2024 Redbreast Cuatro Barriles Edition is a limited edition Irish whiskey that showcases the unique character and complexity of the Redbreast brand. This exceptional expression is the fourth release in the Redbreast Iberian Series, a collection that celebrates the brand’s long-standing connection to the Iberian Peninsula’s renowned cooperages and winemakers.
Key Features:
- ABV: 46%
- Volume: 700ml
- Limited Edition: Part of the Redbreast Iberian Series
- Cask Finish: A blend of American ex-bourbon, Spanish oloroso sherry butts, Portuguese tawny port hogsheads, and European virgin oak casks
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Toasted wood with a decadent and enticing selection of fresh and dried fruits, including notes of freshly picked plums, raisins, fig, and orange peel. Aromas of sweet vanilla with light dustings of nutmeg are carefully balanced by nutty and herbal undertones, while the pot still spices enhance the overall body and complexity of this wonderfully balanced whiskey.
- Palate: Rich with spices of cinnamon and nutmeg at first with delicately drying tannins thanks to the toasted oak and wine seasoning. The spices quickly subside to reveal generous waves of dark berry fruits with marzipan, smoked almonds, and salted caramel.
- Finish: Satisfyingly long. The pot still spices are the first to fade, while leaving the oak and fruits to continue lingering effortlessly until the very end.
