product Details

Redbreast 1991 Single Oloroso Cask 25 Year Old #42966 / The Loop

Redbreast is a single pot still whiskey, for which a combination of malted and un-malted barley are triple distilled in copper pot stills. The brand was created by W.A. Gilbey & Co, and bottled using whiskey sourced from Jameson's Bow Street distillery in Dublin. When Jameson amalgamated with Powers and Cork Distillers to form the Irish Distillers group, the Dublin distilleries were closed down, with all production moved to New Midleton distillery in Cork in 1975. Gilbey's discontinued the brand ten years later, but agreed to sell it to Irish Distillers who relaunched it in 1991.

This is an unusual single sherry cask, specially bottled for The Irish Whisky Collection at The Loop.

First fill Oloroso sherry butt #42966 was laid down in 1991.

One of 630 bottles.
