- Description
- Redbreast's 1997 vintage, aged for 25 years exclusively in a single cream sherry cask and bottled at 57.6%, showcases the Dublin distillery's signature pot-still character elevated by generous sherry influence. The palate unfolds with dried fruit, honey, orchard notes, and rich toffee, while the cask adds layers of wine-soaked complexity and warming spice. A benchmark example of Irish whiskey's depth when given time in quality wood, suited to those seeking serious age and structure.
