Redbreast
Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition Whiskey
The Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition is the fifth chapter in Redbreast’s celebrated Iberian Series — a release that pushes the boundaries of traditional Irish whiskey by marrying time-honored Single Pot Still craftsmanship with the sun-drenched character of southern Spain. Finished in rare Moscatel wine casks from Málaga, this expression delivers a distinctly Mediterranean influence layered onto Redbreast’s rich, full-bodied house style.
Sourced in partnership with Bodegas Quitapenas, a family-owned winery dating back to 1880, the Moscatel casks are first seasoned with aromatic Spanish wine aged in American oak for 24 months. Once emptied, those casks travel to Midleton Distillery, where Redbreast Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey has been maturing in them since 2024, absorbing their floral sweetness, orchard fruit character, and honeyed depth.
This release is part of Redbreast’s ongoing exploration of Iberian fortified wine traditions — a nod to Gilbey’s historic role importing sherry and wine into Ireland in the late 19th century. Under the guidance of Master Blender David McCabe, the Iberian Series captures a meeting of cultures: Irish pot still weight and spice softened and elevated by Spanish and Portuguese wine influence. The result is a whiskey that feels both familiar and unexpected, elegant yet indulgent, and unmistakably Redbreast.
