Redbreast has rolled out a winning new sherry cask-finished whiskey. Read our review here.
If Redbreast has somehow eluded you, I strongly advise correcting this post haste, but here’s a little primer to catch you up. It is a single pot still Irish whiskey, which means that it is made at one distillery in Ireland using pot stills from a mash bill of both malted and unmalted barley. It’s produced at the Midleton Distillery, where a variety of other whiskeys are also made, including a little brand called Jameson that you might have heard of.
A few years ago, the Lustau Edition was released, a whiskey finished in Oloroso sherry casks from the Lustau Bodega. The PX Edition was initially aged in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, and then transferred to Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead casks for another 12 to 22 months, according to the brand. These are smaller than regular sherry casks, so the interaction between wood and whiskey is augmented during this secondary maturation period. And the results are exquisite.
While a sip of rich, syrupy PX sherry can be an intense and sometimes overpowering experience, it’s hard to imagine that this Irish pot still whiskey will be anything but pleasing to most whiskey drinkers. No, the concept of a sherry cask finish isn’t exactly a groundbreaking innovation in the world of Irish whiskey, but it can go overboard and become unbalanced.
