Since winning several major awards, one could argue that Redbreast is to Irish whiskey what Macallan is to Scotch. This unusual single cask was specially bottled for the Barrel & Batch Co-op. It's also the first ever Redbreast Single Cask exclusive to Australia. First fill Oloroso butt #10755 was laid down in 2002 and bottled at natural strength. Redbreast is always good, even when heavily sherried, and similar bottlings have received high praise from the likes of whiskyfun.com. This is one of 558 released globally. 60.9% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the importers... Dark amber to the eye the aroma is like you’ve stepped into an antique store. A slight earthiness, mahogany leather and a wisp of tobacco. There is a hint of furniture polish, in a good way, that announces the ‘size’ of this whiskey at 60.9%. The palate reveals baked apples with butterscotch sauce and Christmas spices. The earthiness continues, reminiscent of fresh beets and the grain comes through with the flavour of cooked mash. The finish is long with the cacao and nutmeg you expect from an oloroso cask but it also has some date, raisin and red berry sweetness you would normally see from a Pedro Ximénez.
