Redbreast Lustau Edition is a bold and elegant expression of Irish Single Pot Still whiskey, born from a unique collaboration between the Midleton Distillery and the renowned Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain. This special release is part of the Redbreast Iberian Series, celebrating the deep connection between Irish whiskey craftsmanship and Spanish sherry heritage.
Initially matured for 9 to 12 years in a combination of traditional bourbon and sherry casks, Redbreast Lustau Edition is then finished for an additional year in first-fill, hand-selected sherry butts seasoned with the finest Oloroso sherry from Bodegas Lustau. The result is a whiskey that offers a new dimension to Redbreast's signature sherry-forward profile, with enhanced richness and complexity.
On the nose, it reveals a luxurious infusion of dark fruits-prunes, dates, and figs-layered with liquorice, marzipan, toasted oak, and aromatic spices. The palate is silky and full-bodied, with assertive spice harmoniously balanced by the depth of the sherry finish and the influence of fresh Spanish oak. The finish is long and satisfying, where sweetness and spice linger, and the Oloroso sherry and oak leave a lasting impression.
Redbreast Lustau Edition is versatile in its enjoyment. It shines when served neat or over ice, and also lends itself beautifully to refined cocktails. One standout is The Hidden Treasure-a light, refreshing highball that introduces Japan to Ireland's ultra-premium whiskey, perfect for summer gatherings or relaxed afternoons.
Crafted at the Midleton Distillery, Redbreast continues to honor the Irish Pot Still tradition that has been safeguarded for nearly two centuries. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley sourced from farms in the Munster region, and distilled using the soft, clear waters of the Dungourney River, Redbreast Lustau Edition is a testament to heritage, innovation, and the enduring art of whiskey-making.
This edition is ideal for collectors, connoisseurs, and those seeking a deeper, more expressive take on Irish whiskey. It's a celebration of friendship, craftsmanship, and the shared pursuit of excellence across borders.
