Redbreast, the world’s most awarded Single Pot Still Irish whiskey, announced the launch of Redbreast 15-year-old Cask Strength — a powerful, small-batch release crafted to celebrate 20 years since it was first launched.
It is bottled at its natural strength of 56.3% ABV and will be available exclusively via MidletonDistilleryCollection.com. Crafted from a marriage of 15 specially selected casks — a deliberate tribute to its 15-year age statement — the release honours both the whiskey’s heritage and the sustained popularity since its launch in 2005.
First released as a one-off bottling, it was so well received that it was soon added permanently to the Redbreast family. 20 years on, this cask strength edition pays tribute to this milestone by intensifying the rich, distillate-driven style that fans have cherished for two decades.
Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks, it remains true to the signature Redbreast style, showcasing the bright and crisp citrus flavour notes, herbal undertones and a lively spice character alongside the familiar notes of dried fruits and toasted oak.
Speaking about the launch, master blender Dave McCabe, said, “This release is a celebration of everything Redbreast 15-year-old represents — heritage, craftsmanship, and character. Bottling it at natural cask strength allows the whiskey to fully showcase its complexity and vibrancy. Selecting 15 casks for this expression was a meaningful choice, connecting the whiskey’s age to its creation story. In Redbreast’s world, each batch tells its own story. This limited edition gives fans the chance to experience the spirit of Redbreast 15 in a new way, while staying true to the style they know and love."
Master blender Emeritus Billy Leighton, said, "When Redbreast 15 was first created it was intended to be a one-time release. Its overwhelming success led it to become a permanent part of our portfolio. This cask strength edition captures the spirit of that original moment — delivering a whiskey that is both deeply familiar and thrillingly new. It’s a bold tribute to our fans and a reminder that every batch, like every Redbreast, has its own unique personality."
