Fruit-Forward Irish Whiskies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Redbreast's New Family Launch is the 18-Year-Old Whiskey

— October 11, 2024 — Lifestyle
Irish whiskey brand Redbreast has officially introduced its newest offering: the Redbreast 18-Year-Old. This premium whiskey is crafted using a combination of butts and ex-bourbon barrels, enhancing its complex flavor profile.

The Redbreast 18-Year-Old showcases a harmonious blend of vanilla sweetness, toasted wood, and dried fruits, creating a rich-tasting experience. Notably, the whiskey is further distinguished by subtle notes of blackcurrant and raspberry, adding depth and sophistication to its character.

“This new addition to the Redbreast core range beautifully bridges the gap between our older and younger offerings. We wanted to unlock a new taste profile for the Redbreast permanent range while still offering something that feels distinctly Redbreast in its style. By incorporating the cream sherry casks, we’ve created a whiskey that boasts a rich profile of dark chocolate, blackcurrants, and hazelnuts [...],”

The Redbreast 18-Year-Old will be available through the brand’s official website starting September 12.
