Reviewed January 15, 2022 (edited July 6, 2023)The latest Redbreast edition, has my two favorite letters together: "PX". This "Iberian Edition" has been matured in ex Bourbon casks, and Oloroso sherry, to then be finished for at least 12 months in a PX sherry Butt. Redbreast is always a synonym of a good dram. Tawny color, bottled at 46%abv. On the nose, it is exactly what you expect. Dehydrated oranges, quince dessert, red roses (very floral), and a spongy vanilla cake. There are some fig notes there, and impalpable sugar. After a firdt sip, it gave me passion fruit, and other exotic tropical fruits like dragon fruit. Church wine and a magnificent note of coffee with milk. On the palate it is a sweet as you expect. Chocolate, oranges and vanilla. It is really a citric delight. Hay. Aftertaste follows the rythm with a peat hint. A "grain whisky" vanilla note. Chocolate, tobacco. It is actually Smokey and a little earthy. Actually, this was a very good dram, specially if you have it while enjoying a Creme bruleè as i did. A sweet expression with some peatiness is always nice, my score for it is 87 over 100. -

Reviewed December 8, 2021 (edited April 8, 2022)Beautiful pour! I get a lot of orange zest and baking spice. Reminiscent of Red Spot but less spicy and no woodiness. It’s worth every penny!!105.99 USD per BottleColumbus -

Reviewed November 29, 2021 (edited January 8, 2023)My lovely wife adores Irish Whiskey almost as much as I adore her. I actually think she might trade me in for a bottle of Redbreast 27 if someone offered. In an effort to stay married I try to bring home a nice bottle for her often. I had heard about this release, but hadn't found a bottle until today. Since whiskey is meant to be enjoyed this one is a fresh crack for the evening. Nose is light, but sweet with hints of raisin and a bit of a mustiness. I am not saying that in a particularly harsh way, just not sure of a better way to put it. There isn't a particular age statement on this bottle, but it seems to carry some decent time in barrels. First sip is fruit forward. The barrels have really left a light raisin edge to this dram. There is a little heat that spikes to a soft burn mid sip before leaving an almost port like finish. The interesting thing here is that as the port fades there is a light bourbon edge with a caramel sweetness (almost like the finish on a toasted barrel). Each sip gets a little more complex as all of these flavors emerge. Redbreast continues to be my personal gold standard for Irish Whiskey. I have yet to find a bottle that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. This ine is no different. The fact that the aging and finishing have been so masterfully done so that you don't lose the individual characters of the barrels is really a treat. If you see a bottle of this I highly suggest you try it.100.0 USD per Bottle
