Redbreast 27 Year Old – Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Redbreast 27 Year Old is the oldest permanent expression in the renowned Redbreast Single Pot Still range — a masterpiece of Irish whiskey craftsmanship. Aged for nearly three decades, this luxurious whiskey is matured in a combination of bourbon barrels, Oloroso sherry butts, and uniquely, ruby port casks from Portugal. The result is a profoundly rich, complex, and perfectly balanced spirit that embodies the very essence of Single Pot Still whiskey.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Deep ruby amber, a visual testament to its extended maturation and port cask influence.

Nose: A beguiling nose of ripe stone fruits — plums, cherries, and blackcurrants — complemented by aromas of orange peel, figs, toasted oak, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and rich berry jam.

Palate: Full-bodied, velvety, and layered. Initial notes of tropical fruits and dark berries give way to honeyed sweetness, chocolate ganache, toasted nuts, leather, and warming spice. The port casks impart a luxurious depth and a seamless integration of fruit and wood.

Finish: Exceptionally long and indulgent, with lingering notes of dried fruit, oak tannins, and elegant pot still spice.

Serving Suggestions: Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its extraordinary complexity and texture. A few drops of water will gently unfold its deeper layers. A whiskey for life’s finest moments — contemplative, celebratory, and a true statement piece for any collection.
