Redbreast Missouri Oak Whiskey 750ml

Redbreast Missouri Oak Edition – Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Age

No age statement, but matured through multiple cask stages, with the final finishing phase lasting nearly a year.

Distillery

Produced by Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland — home of Redbreast and other iconic pot still whiskeys, made with heritage copper stills and craft precision.

Region

Irish whiskey matured and finished with a transatlantic twist — rooted in Ireland’s rich distilling history and complemented by American oak innovation.

Mash Bill

Traditional single pot still mash bill featuring a mix of malted and unmalted barley — offering creaminess, orchard fruit, and signature pot still spice.

Maturation & Cask Finish

Initially aged in a blend of bourbon and sherry casks, then uniquely finished in virgin Missouri oak barrels. These Ozark-sourced barrels impart bolder tannins, warming spice, and exotic sweetness compared to standard Irish oak.

ABV / Proof

Bottled at 50.5% ABV (101 proof) — a bold, full-bodied strength enhancing both structure and nuance.

Description

Redbreast Missouri Oak Edition reimagines the classic pot still style with an American oak edge. The virgin Missouri oak barrels, never used before for aging, infuse extra layers of clove, cinnamon, and charred vanilla into the whiskey’s creamy, fruit-laced base. It’s a bold expression that fuses tradition with oak-driven complexity.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Rich gold with amber highlights and a silky, full-bodied sheen.

Aroma

Toffee apple and honeyed vanilla meet cinnamon stick, dried fig, baking spice, and subtle dark berries.

Palate

Velvety texture leads with creamy malt, toasted oak, nutmeg, black cherry, and clove. Balanced sweetness from vanilla and red fruit is lifted by a warm, tannic spice.

Finish

Long and structured: lingering notes of charred wood, hazelnut, red fruit jam, and persistent pot still warmth.
