Redbreast 21 years Pot Still

About the Redbreast 21 years Pot Still

Redbreast 21 years Pot Still is a single pot still Irish whisky from Ireland. Made at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork. It sits at the top of the celebrated Redbreast range. The whisky has won the title World's Best Pot Still at the World Whiskies Awards, a rare badge of pedigree. The spirit is made the traditional Irish way. Both malted and unmalted barley go into the mash. It is then triple distilled in copper pot stills for a creamy, layered character. This older recipe is what gives single pot still whisky its distinctive backbone. Maturation is where Redbreast 21 truly earns its name. The whisky rests at least twenty-one years in oak. It marries American ex-bourbon barrels with first-fill Spanish oloroso sherry butts. Some whiskies in the blend are even older than the age on the label. The flavour is deep and generous. Expect caramel and maple syrup sweetness, with bright green apple and ripe mango fruit. Warm cinnamon and ginger spice run through a buttery, malty body. The long finish turns nutty and oaky, with cocoa and a gentle floral lift. A whisper of butterscotch and oak lingers on the tongue. This is a whisky built for quiet contemplation. Pour Redbreast 21 years Pot Still neat into a glass and give it time. The full strength of 46 percent and the lack of chill filtration keep every flavour intact. Each sip reveals more fruit, spice and gentle wood. It rewards patience like few other Irish whiskies can.
