Introducing the second instalment of Redbreast's Iberian series, a small-batch Irish whiskey aged for 8-10 years before being recasked and finished in a selection of exceptional Tawny Port Hogsheads. This expression offers a delightful bouquet of sweet, warming confectionery notes, with buttered pastry, caramelized almonds, and subtle undertones of praline and dried cherry. As you continue to explore, notes of chocolate-coated hazelnuts and salted caramel emerge, giving way to fresh plums and dried figs. The long finish is characterized by hints of spice and toasted oak, rounding out a truly indulgent experience.
