Redbreast 27 Year Old Ruby Port Casks Batch 7

Redbreast 27 Year Old was first released in 2020 and is the oldest expression in the brand's core range. Unlike Redbreast's traditional combination of Bourbon and Sherry Cask maturation, the 27-year-old also incorporates whiskey matured in Ruby Port Casks, adding rich fruity aromas and complexity. Batch 7 was released in 2026 and bottled at 55.8% Cask Strength.

Produced at Midleton Distillery in Ireland, Redbreast combines malted and unmalted barley and undergoes triple distillation using the traditional Single Pot Stills. The Ruby Port Casks used for Redbreast 27 Year Old come from Portugal's Douro Valley. Ruby Port Cask-matured whiskey forms part of the final blend, rather than the entire batch undergoing a Port Cask Finish.

Reference Tasting Notes:
Nose: A complex bouquet of dark fruits, summer berries and herbs, accompanied by the sweetness of toffee and vanilla. Delicate notes of walnut and toasted oak add further complexity.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied, with abundant cherry and berry flavours alongside a distinct cooling menthol sensation. Cinnamon and nutmeg spices are balanced by creamy vanilla and oak notes.
Finish: Elegant and long, with ripe fruits and subtle oak spices, followed by lingering walnut notes.
