109 : Redbreast dream cask 29 year old oloroso sherry

This auction is closed, biddings on the lot are no longer possible

When selecting their whiskey of choice for this fourth release, Leighton and Blender Dave McCabe combined innovation, tradition, and time-honoured craftsmanship by vatting together four special whiskeys, aged for a minimum of 29 years in ex-bourbon, sherry, and ruby port seasoned casks. The whiskeys were then married in a single outstanding Oloroso sherry butt from Jerez de la Frontera in Spain’s Andalusia region and left to mature for a further 15 months to bring an evolution of its characteristic flavours to the Redbreast experience. Having launched on world whiskey day only 914 bottles were made available. This is Bottle 556. The bottle and box are in great condition.

Redbreast was originally created in 1912 by the legendary bottlers and distillers Gilbey’s, and the early incarnations were always sourced from the old Jameson Distillery on Bow Street in Dublin. Over the years a variety of expressions were released that were bottled at either 10 years old or 12 years old.

Once the Jameson Distillery became part of Irish Distillers supplies of casks to Gilbey’s dried up and the last ‘Old Redbreast’ bottlings were released in 1985. The brand was subsequently sold to Irish Distillers and was fortunately revived in 1991 using whiskey sourced from the Midleton Distillery. All the bottlings released since then have been made using Midleton whiskey and in the main these make use of high-quality Sherry casks, with a lesser amount of Bourbon casks in each vatting. Whiskey connoisseurs have fallen back in love with Redbreast whiskey and for many it is the quintessential Irish Single Pot Still whiskey.
