Product details
Redbreast, a distinguished name in Irish whiskey, introduces the Missouri Oak Edition—a testament to the brand's dedication to innovation and craftsmanship. This expression marries Redbreast's signature single pot still whiskey, traditionally aged in sherry and ex-bourbon barrels, with a unique finish in virgin Missouri oak casks sourced from the Ozark Forest. This meticulous ten-month finishing period imparts distinctive characteristics to the whiskey, showcasing Redbreast's commitment to exploring diverse wood influences while maintaining its rich heritage.
On the nose, the Missouri Oak Edition greets with generous waves of sweet toffee apple and vanilla, followed by ripe blackcurrants and black cherries. The American oak enhances the pot still spices with additional notes of cinnamon and ground ginger, while nutty undertones akin to pecan pie linger gently in the background. The palate is rich with oak tannins that slowly subside, giving way to a luscious and creamy texture. Flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and black peppercorns intertwine with rich berry fruits and vanilla cream, culminating in a satisfyingly long finish where nuttiness and pot still spices linger before yielding to the oak. This whiskey pairs excellently with roasted game meats, aged cheeses, or desserts featuring dark chocolate and berries, complementing its complex flavor profile.
