Redbreast Small Batch (2021)

Never been a big Redbreast fan or cask strength fan, this converted me to both! The nose has a lot of cherry and dark fruit until you add ice. Then I get more delicate notes, almost like honeysuckle. The palate is sweet with honey and classic shortbread cookie with a slight woody finish. Absolutely love this one!

Nose: Licorice, grapefruit, kiwi. An intense dark red wine. Bitter chocolate. Espresso. Mocha. Strong oak influence is apparent. Caramel. Toffee. Red apple. Plum, flower blossoms, Pepper, malt come out after a while Taste: shortbread cookie, crisp fresh red apple. Very sweet and bright citrus finish, almost like a sugared tangerine. Strong typical Irish herbal after taste. Slight banana bread as well. Water brings out the typical tropical Redbreast fruits of mango, guava, starfruit, and durian. Also brings out a dense floral honey and caramel.
