From The Official Website

The oldest permanent release in the Redbreast family, 27-Year-Old is a Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey comprising exclusively of Pot Still whiskeys which have been triple distilled, matured in the finest bourbon, sherry and ruby port casks for no less than 27 years, and left untouched.

Nose: A succulent medley of exotic fruits, mango, pineapple, blood orange and ripe red berries are complemented by fresh herbs, aromatic oils and wood spices. Vanilla sweetness and treacle toffee add to the richness, while walnuts and toasted oak acknowledge the contribution from a supreme cask selection.

Taste: Incredibly rich in texture with a luxuriously fruity introduction. Ripe red fleshed plums, black cherries and summer berries are balanced by the prickle of a hint of chili oil. The taste evolves as cherry menthol introduces vanilla and cinnamon sweet spices combined with red pepper, nutmeg and toasted oak for an intriguing complexity.

Finish: A satisfyingly long balance of ripe fruit and wood spices, worthy of a journey of nearly three decades.

Adam's Notes

I finally managed to find an excuse to crack open this bottle... Christmas! After all, Redbreast is often described as the quintessential Christmas dram. Although, whatever you're celebrating this winter - this might well be the perfect bottle for the occasion. In my videos for this year's sale, I gave the Redbreast a shoutout as being top of my list for whiskies at The Strath that I wanted to try - and boy did it not disappoint. Find out more about this wonderful single pot still Irish whiskey, including my first impressions in the video above.
