Portrait: What makes the Redbreast PX Edition special
If Whiskey were a family, Redbreast PX Edition would be the chic little cousin who's just returned from abroad, bringing all the stories with her. This Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey is one of the venerable representatives of its kind, produced today exclusively at the Midleton Distillery in Cork – a place where tradition meets precision and where at least one little imp probably lives by every still.
As is customary with the Redbreast family, this whiskey is triple distilled – essentially an Irish pot still on steroids. The maturation process is a true marathon: first in ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, and finally in Pedro Ximénez casks from sunny southern Spain. These casks come from none other than Antonio Páez, the long-time cask supplier, who ensures the whiskey receives its final, refined touch. The PX Edition is thus a true cosmopolitan: Irish heart, Spanish temperament, and a wealth of craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Those who pour it into a glass can choose between neat or on the rocks – both perfectly acceptable, as it's stylish either way. Redbreast PX Edition isn't a whiskey that shouts loudly, but one that demands respect. It stands for tradition, innovation, and a touch of international flair, without losing its roots. In short: a whiskey for people who know that quality takes time – and that a little adventure tastes even better when it comes from two countries.
For collectors, connoisseurs, and anyone who likes to think outside the box: Here comes a member of the Redbreast family, charming, mature, and with a touch of worldliness. You could almost say: a gentleman from Cork with a holiday home in Andalusia.
Conclusion: A harmonious single pot still whiskey that combines fruity notes with spices and oak accents for an elegant and complex overall impression.
Tasting Notes: This is how the Redbreast PX Edition tastes like
- Nose: On the nose, cherries and sultanas mingle with winter pastries. This is complemented by almonds, oak, licorice, and candied orange, resulting in a complex and inviting aroma profile.
- Palate: On the palate, a balanced blend of orange, plums, and cherries unfolds, accompanied by figs. Winter spices, licorice, and oak round out the flavor experience, providing depth and structure.
- Finish: The finish is pleasantly spicy and long-lasting. Sweet toffee is accompanied by a hint of honeyed, toasted oak, leaving a smooth and harmonious finish.
