Unveiling the Distinctive Flavour Profile
Let’s uncover the elements that shape its character and flavour. Join us as we reveal the secrets of Redbreast’s heritage and enjoy the sensory delights found in every sip.
- Meticulous Blending Process: Redbreast Whisky’s distinctive flavour profile begins with a thorough blending process, where master blenders carefully select and combine different malt and grain whiskies to achieve the desired taste.
- Ageing in Oak Barrels: After blending, Redbreast Whisky is aged in carefully chosen oak barrels, which undergo a transformative maturation process. These barrels convey unique flavours and aromas to the whisky, such as vanilla, caramel, and subtle hints of wood smoke.
- Notes of Rich Fruit and Warm Spices: Upon tasting, Redbreast Whisky reveals rich fruit notes, such as ripe berries and dried fruits, along with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. These flavours interplay harmoniously, creating an indulgent and satisfying sensory experience.
- Lingering Sweetness: One of the defining characteristics of Redbreast Whisky is its lingering sweetness, which persists long after the initial sip. This sweetness is balanced by subtle hints of oak and spice, creating a smooth, well-rounded finish that leaves a lasting impression.
The Craftsmanship Behind Redbreast
Redbreast’s meticulous distillation process
- Selection of Premium Ingredients: Redbreast Whisky begins its journey by carefully selecting premium ingredients, including the finest barley and purest water from local springs. These high-quality ingredients form the foundation of Redbreast’s exceptional flavour profile.
- Traditional Pot Still Distillation: Redbreast Whisky is distilled using traditional pot stills, a method that has been perfected over centuries. This time-honoured technique allows for greater control over the distillation process, resulting in a whisky with a rich and robust character.
- Slow Maturation in Oak Barrels: After distillation, Redbreast Whisky is aged in carefully selected oak barrels, where it undergoes a slow maturation process. These barrels, which have previously held sherry or bourbon, impart distinct flavours and aromas to the whisky, enriching its depth and complexity.
