Redbreast, Ireland's most awarded single pot still whiskey, has announced the latest addition to its US exclusive collection - Redbreast Missouri Oak Edition. This extraordinary expression, finished in virgin Missouri oak barrels, brings a captivating twist to the renowned Redbreast liquid.
To celebrate the new launch, the brand, known as a champion for bird preservation, has sponsored a research study into the magnificent Cerulean Warblers that breed in the Ozark Forest, with the songbird gracing the packaging of the new expression in homage. Whiskey enthusiasts across United States will have the exclusive opportunity to experience this limited-edition release.
Bottled at a robust 50.5% ABV, it seamlessly combines the signature single pot still whiskey profile, aged in sherry and ex-bourbon barrels, with the unique influence of virgin Missouri oak from the Ozark Forest for 10 months. This exceptional oak takes centre stage, elevating the classic flavour profile with notes of cinnamon and ground ginger, complimented with the rich oak tannins, lead into a satisfyingly long finish.
The whiskey offers a symphony of flavours, opening with generous waves of toffee apple and vanilla, followed by ripe blackcurrants and black cherries. Simultaneously, the rich oak tannins soften into the background to welcome a luscious and creamy texture that seamlessly intertwines with the building sweetness, vibrant spices, and berries. The nuttiness and pot still spices linger before gracefully yielding to the soft oak notes, leaving a lasting impression that beckons for another sip.
Dave McCabe, master blender, said, “The whiskey spent a total of 10 months maturing in the exquisite virgin Missouri oak barrels crafted by Kelvin Cooperage. Due to the nature of virgin oak barrels being so giving in flavour during maturation, it was crucial for us to regularly sample the evolving liquid to ensure it imparted a measured influence that didn’t overpower the signature Redbreast style. After 10 months, the expression had attained its peak flavour, with the Missouri oak imparting distinct notes of cinnamon and ground ginger, complemented by subtle nutty undertones reminiscent of pecan pie.”
