Product Description

Redbreast 15 Year Old Irish Whiskey: 15-Year Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey with Berry Fruit, Spice and Toasted Oak

Redbreast 15 Year Old Irish Whiskey is a single pot still expression made from malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills. Its additional age brings more mature fruit, aromatic oils, spice and toasted wood than the younger flagship 12 Year.

Redbreast matures the whiskey for at least 15 years in a balance of first-fill and refill oak casks, including bourbon and Oloroso sherry-seasoned wood. The official profile is bottled at 46% ABV, preserving a full body while remaining approachable neat.

The signature sherry influence appears as berry and fleshy fruit rather than simple sweetness. Pot-still spice, toasted oak and oily texture make it a slow, layered pour that benefits from air and a few drops of water.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Full and rich, with berry fruit, aromatic oils, orchard fruit, toasted nuts and gentle spice.

Palate: Mellow but full-bodied, combining fleshy fruit, pot-still spice, sherry richness and toasted wood.

Finish: Long and sophisticated, with lingering fruit, oak, warm spice and a lightly oily texture.

Food Pairings

• Roast duck with berry sauce: rich meat and berry fruit mirror the whiskey's depth.
• Aged cheddar: sharp nuttiness balances sherry fruit and oily texture.
• Fruitcake: dried fruit and spice connect naturally with the cask profile.
• Dark chocolate hazelnut tart: cocoa and nuts complement toasted oak and aromatic oils.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass and allow several minutes of air. Add a few drops of water if desired. Redbreast also publishes a Whiskey Sour using the 15 Year, but keep citrus and sugar measured so the mature whiskey remains prominent.

Store upright, sealed and away from heat or sunlight. Protect the closure from prolonged contact with spirit and avoid repeated temperature changes.
