Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask

The fifth instalment in Redbreast’s Iberian series celebrating their mastery over fortified wine cask maturation, this Redbreast release was carefully honed to perfection by Master Blender, David McCabe, in Moscatel wine casks from the hills of Málaga in Spain. Before being transported to the Midleton Distillery to house their precious Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, these American oak casks held the wine for 24 months, imbuing them with floral and honey flavours which can clearly be seen in the resulting liquid.

Bottled at 46% abv, you can expect a nose with zesty fruits and a sprinkling of nutmeg. The palate is equally vibrant with fruity notes, interspersed with toffee and honey, made savoury with dried herbs and oak. On the finish oak and spice continues to linger.
