Redbreast 27 Year Old elevates the storied reputation of this iconic whiskey even further. his expression has been matured in both bourbon and sherry casks as well as including ruby port casks for the first time to bring even more comhiplexity and depth. Rich flavours of exotic fruits, wood spices and wonderful sweet treacle notes. Nearly three decades in the shaping, this cask strength Redbreast is a joy to behold in each and every bottle.

Nose:    A succulent medley of exotic fruits, mango, pineapple, blood orange and ripe red berries are complemented by fresh herbs, aromatic oils and wood spices. Vanilla sweetness and treacle toffee add to the richness, while walnuts and toasted oak acknowledge the contribution from a supreme cask selection.

Palate: Incredibly rich in texture with a luxuriously fruity introduction. Ripe red fleshed plums, black cherries and summer berries are balanced by the prickle of a hint of chili oil. The taste evolves as cherry menthol introduces vanilla and cinnamon sweet spices combined with red pepper, nutmeg and toasted oak for an intriguing complexity.

Finish: A satisfyingly long balance of ripe fruit and wood spices, worthy of a journey of nearly three decades.
