Redbreast Tawny Port Cask Edition

Single Pot Still — Ireland

Reviewed August 2, 2024
3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
Cracked recently in our small society for higher end bottles, as this is a $200 bottle in my neck of the woods. But, its Redbreast, and I'm never disappointed by Redbreast...right? Pours just a bit darker than expected, and definitely has some hints of the aging on the nose as it isn't as light and airy as 'standard' Redbreast (speaking to the 12 year). Its definitely still sweet...laden with honey, but also plenty of light, tropical fruits, and there is some of the port character. Flavor is more robust than 'standard' Redbreast, but there isn't necessarily more character in this sip...yes, there's some evidence of the aging, but, as much as it pains me, I'm not sure it makes it a better pour, as some of the wispy character on the palate is lost with a more syrupy, heavier sip. There's still plenty of honey and general sweetness up front, but it gets a bit full with even hints of spice on the backend. The palate feels heavy, but not cumbersome...bits of dry oak on the finish. So, is this a good pour. Yes. But I would argue Redbreast 12 is a better pour...and the Redbreast PX feels worlds beyond this pour in terms of intrigue and depth. Let's be fair, this is a mild disappointment, but maybe that's because all (and I mean all) local places (Chicagoland) carrying this bottle are at the $195-$215 price point...and at that sticker, its just not worth it.
200.0 USD per Bottle
