Redbreast Small Batch Cask Strength Batch D
About this bottle
In November 2019, Irish Distillers released four small batch cask strength batches for its Redbreast Single Pot Still brand. These four batches each matured for 14 years (although there is no-age statement on the bottle) in a mix of ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks with different proportions of barrel formulas for each. Batch D is bottled at 58.9% ABV. Limited availability to San Diego, San Francisco, and Boston. Only 252 bottles for each batch.

ton of flavor ramped up from your typical Irish whiskey with some extra fruitiness from the sherry casks that gives it a really nice finish
Wow. That mouthfeel, so oily. Massive pepper spice hits initially, red fruits, dates almost a hint of liquorice. Absolutely delicious.
All the best of Redbreast 12 with a bit of heat! One of the best whiskeys I’ve had.
Amazing taste on the front of the palate; typical gross Irish finish.
Second favorite whiskey so far, fruity but extremely well balanced
