The Redbreast 27 Year Old stands as a pinnacle of Irish whiskey crafting at the Midleton Distillery, a beacon of whiskey production in Ireland since the early 1820s. This spirit is skillfully made from both malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills. Ageing in bourbon, sherry, and specially chosen ruby Port casks adds unmatched depth and a luxurious finish, making it a standout in the world of Irish whiskey.
