Redbreast Lustau Finished Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
A Sherry Cask Revelation
Experience the masterful marriage of Irish whiskey tradition and Spanish sherry expertise with the Redbreast Lustau Finished Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. This exceptional 750ml release is a true testament to the art of whiskey maturation, combining the renowned complexity of Redbreast's signature Single Pot Still distillate with the rich influence of first-fill Oloroso sherry butts from Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain.
Initially matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, this whiskey undergoes a final finishing period of one year in the hand-selected Lustau sherry butts, imbuing it with a profound depth and an extraordinary array of flavors.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A captivating and aromatic bouquet. Rich, fruity notes of dried figs, dates, and sultanas leap from the glass, beautifully intertwined with sweet marzipan, toasted almonds, and a comforting waft of treacle. A delicate spice blend of cinnamon and nutmeg emerges, underpinned by the classic Redbreast notes of pot still spices and a subtle hint of polished oak. The sherry influence is evident but impeccably integrated, promising a luscious experience.
- Palate: The palate is wonderfully rich, creamy, and full-bodied, showcasing the signature velvety texture of Redbreast. A wave of dried fruit sweetness bursts forth, reminiscent of Christmas cake and sticky toffee pudding. This is followed by a delightful interplay of toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and a gentle, warming spice that includes ginger and a hint of black pepper. The Oloroso sherry influence brings a luscious dark fruit character and a pleasant, subtle tannic grip, perfectly complementing the pot still's inherent spiciness and sweetness.
- Finish: The finish is remarkably long, satisfying, and elegantly complex. The dried fruit and nutty notes linger, slowly giving way to a gentle, spicy warmth and a lingering sweetness of oak and a whisper of cocoa. It's a beautifully balanced conclusion, leaving a harmonious impression of fruit, spice, and the deep, rich character imparted by the Lustau sherry casks.
Redbreast Lustau Finished is a superb sipping whiskey, best enjoyed neat or with a single drop of water to unlock its full spectrum of flavors. It's an essential addition for any Irish whiskey enthusiast and a testament to the exceptional cask finishing capabilities of the Midleton distillery.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
