Reviewed May 20, 2024 (edited July 6, 2024)Instant new favorite. Rasin, plum and a bowl of hell-yes on the nose. Soft, oily and oh so satisfying on the pallet. A low burn sherried fruit finish that lingers. This might be my first 5 star review.90.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed May 14, 2024 (edited June 27, 2024)Redbreast PX Cask Edition is no age statement and bottled at 46% ABV. After an initial maturation in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, the combination is then finished in PX sherry casks for a minimum of 12 months. This is the 2013 edition. The MSRP is $100, but I have not seen this for less than $130 where I am at. This bottle convinced me that PX sherry is the perfect touch to Redbreast whiskey. After dinner, this is the perfect treat. It does not matter if you like Scotch, bourbon, or even Grand Marnier, this whiskey will appeal to you, if you can tolerate drinking a distilled spirit neat. I had a guest whose drink of choice was Grand Marnier, which I only stock because I cook with it, who got to try this bottle, Dewar’s Signature, and Grand Marnier. She liked this more than the Grand Marnier and thought that this was more like Grand Marnier than the Dewar’s. That is the level of dessert you are presented with when you have this whiskey. Although I find this far from Grand Marnier, there are definitely Grand Marnier hints in here. On the nose, there is grapes and raisins combined with maple syrup and orange zest over a backbone of buttered waffles and French toast. On the palate, it gets chocolaty and marmalady with a finish that is spicy with cloves and vanilla, with a linger of a take-your-pick delicious jam: grape, apricot, or raspberry. So, where I am, this whisky has a little bit of a secondary market markup, and I have seen it as high as $180. Get it for cheaper if you can, but even that is fair. This is a bottle that will please those who like to drink whiskey, and please those who don’t like to drink whiskey.140.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed April 27, 2024 (edited July 10, 2024)So many good reviews after I hated that kentucky oak (at first, it grew to be ok) and never getting the love of the Lastu (spelled right?). But for 99 bucks in 2024 this felt ok. nose - And all fears leave me as a I get red breast kinda vanilla grainy earthy notes from those pot stills with light and not over the top PX. no over oaked elements to be seen! Taste - This is sweet sticky px goodness over redbreast. The balance of the two is also good. It's more redbreast than PX. Good mixed effect on the finish. Berry jam, toasted oak, toffee, light spices. I know I'm dragging on reviewing this as a redbreast and not trying to explain it as a whisky but I doubt anyone interested cares because they know what I mean when I say redbreast. I'll give this a 2.25. For the money at 100 add .5 stars. Remember i score more to a 4.0 scale so the points after that are EPIC. I think this is a great buy and I'm glad I got it. But there's no wow here. Just good solid whisky. -

Reviewed March 14, 2024 (edited April 3, 2024)This is the inaugural release of Redbreast Iberian Series. Scotch and bourbon brands o’plenty have been using the annual NAS release gimmick, so it’s nice to see Redbreast start this trend for Ireland. I believe this PX line has been re-released, but this is the from the first batch. Let’s check it out. Nose: Gala apple, toffee, caramel, and vanilla. Shortbread cookie. Plum, raisin, date, fig, and cranberry are suggestive of the PX influence. Orange citrus and milk chocolate. Blackberry and raspberry add an interesting twist. Black pepper, cinnamon, baking spice, and oak. Palate: Orange citrus and milk chocolate are the dominant notes. Vanilla pecan ice cream. Nougat and toffee. Butterscotch. Some apricot and gala apple in the background. Shortbread cookie. Golden raisin, date, and fig. Cranberry, blackberry, raspberry. Some tart plum in the mid-palate. Peach as well. Orange sherbert even. Cinnamon and oak. Finish: Plum, date, fig, raisin, cranberry. Orange citrus, milk chocolate, vanilla, and toffee. Shortbread cookie, honey, and butterscotch. Black pepper, cinnamon, baking spice, and oak. Moderate-to-long finish, leaning toward the latter. The nose was initially a bit faint. Thought it did open up over and was plenty good once that happened. For a 46%’er, the finish was solid. And the palate—exceptional. The cask selection had to have been fantastic to make this flavor profile pop the way it did. Sure, all the classic Irish notes were there, but they played second fiddle to the PX notes—which validates my expensive NAS purchase. It certainly lives up to its name. Speaking of this being expensive, I paid $110 for this one. Definitely a heavy price to pay for an NAS in a brand new line of cask experimentation. And yet, I can say with confidence that my money was well spent with this one. All in all, 4.5/5 for this one. Maybe my nose is a little compromised from the pollen that’s filling the Jersey air right now. I’ve got enough for one more pour, so I’ll be sure to review my notes for the nose when my face is a bit less swollen. That aside, there is absolutely no doubt that this a superb whiskey. I’m very much looking forward to trying the Tawny Port next. Awesome stuff here from Redbreast.110.0 USD per Bottle
