Redbreast Irish Whiskey has announced the release of a new expression just in time for St. Patrick’s Day: the Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition. Renowned for its rich heritage, Redbreast is celebrating over a century of craftsmanship with this latest offering, which has been finished in casks that previously held Moscatel wine for over a year.
Flavor Profile
The Moscatel Wine Cask Edition is the fifth installment in Redbreast’s acclaimed Iberian Series. It begins its maturation in a mix of ex-bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry casks before transitioning to the Moscatel casks for a final 12 months. The result is a robust 92-proof whiskey that features complex flavor notes including orange peel, tangerine zest, chamomile tea, nutmeg, cedarwood, floral honey, and cloves.
Master Blender David McCabe highlights that this new expression pays homage to Redbreast’s historical ties to sherry and fortified wines, emphasizing the long-standing relationships with suppliers in the region and celebrating their craftsmanship.
Availability
Consumers can purchase the Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition at RedbreastWhiskey.com and at select retailers, with a suggested price of $109.99 for a 750ml bottle.
This launch is not just a drink option; it embodies the brand’s tradition and the evolution of Irish whiskey, perfectly suited for enthusiasts looking to elevate their St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
