Redbreast PX (70 cl), €95.00
Unique among the family, Redbreast Pedro Ximénez edition is a single pot still whiskey, triple distilled, initially matured in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks before being re-casked in delectable Pedro Ximénez hogsheads for a sweet finish.
Regarded as the Definitive Expression of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, Redbreast epitomises a style of whiskey that is Crafted Without Compromise; a whiskey steeped in the traditions of fermentation, distillation, maturation, blending and bottling. And now the Iberian Series adds a new and exciting chapter to the story with whiskeys finished in casks sourced from the sun-drenched Bodegas of Spain and Portugal, suffused with the Gentle Warmth and sweetness of the Iberian Peninsula.
Made from Malted and Unmalted Barley, Triple Distilled in Copper Pot Stills and Matured in American Oak Bourbon Barrels and Spanish Oak Oloroso Sherry Butts, Redbreast PX Edition is finished for a minimum of 12 months in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Hogsheads that have been carefully selected to ensure it is as Uniquely Velvety as it is Undeniably Delectable.
