Years have i waited to finally taste the Redbreast Lustau expression, the only one i have been missing from their core range. This sherried whiskey is very famous and somehow it had slipped from my hands, but now that i have had it i got to tell you: it is very good.
Bottled at 46%abv, tawny color, matured in Lustau Sherry oak casks.
On the nose, i truly enjoyed this one: Red fruits, tons of them. Floral Strawberries bathed in chocolate; Hazelnut. super fresh apples, but also SUPER FRESH
STRAWBERRY HARD CANDY. Lovely stuff.
On the palate it is veey appealing. Sherry, Winey, Grapy with hints of Dark chocolate and red apples.
Aftertaste is where things fell a little but not too much. Grain whiskey. Caramelized apple, Sherry and Ginger. After a third sip it gave me Hay and chocolate.
Overall, i would buy this for an everyday dram. It is not expensive and manges to give you a lot of flavors and aromas, that are easy to enjoy. One of my favorites of the Redbreast core range, and definitively one that i will remember. My score for it is a solid 88 over 100.
