Redbreast 21 Year Old represents the ultimate expression of single pot still Irish whiskey. Produced in very limited quantities at Midleton Distillery, this abundantly aromatic and deeply complex whiskey is the pinnacle of the Redbreast range. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills, and matured for 21 years in a combination of ex-bourbon American oak barrels and first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, it delivers new levels of depth, flavour, and refinement that reward every sip. Named World's Best Single Pot Still at the 2024 Whisky Magazine Awards.

The 21 years of maturation introduce a remarkable complexity, with tropical fruits, toasted oak, sherry nuttiness, and warming spice all in perfect harmony. Produced in limited quantities, this is a bottle that belongs in any serious whiskey collection.

Distillery and Production

Tasting Notes

Nose: Remarkable aroma spanning fresh tropical fruits, nuts, and rich dried fruit. Palate: Soft vanilla, toasted oak, and sherry nuttiness with a dusting of spices; luscious fleshy fruit notes complete the silky mouthfeel. Finish: Lingers seemingly forever, with oak and an assortment of spices, before the final bow from barley, where it all began.

Perfect Pairings

Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its extraordinary complexity. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and aged hard cheeses. A whiskey of this calibre deserves to be savoured slowly.
