Quick Fire Whisky Tasting Notes

Redbreast 27 Year Old

Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

54.6% ABV

Nose: Richly rewarding with wondrous waves of blood orange, grilled pineapple rings, Alphonso mangoes, passion fruit and strawberries dusted with black pepper. Along with notes of Waitrose treacle tart, vanilla crème brûlée, bread pudding, coconut ice, toasted walnuts, cherry cough syrup, oodles of opulent charred oak and something rather rye-teously grain esque.

Palate: An assorted plethora of summer berry filled punnets, tea stewed prunes, cinnamon infused plum jam, grilled mango and orange peel. Followed by notes of Tunes cherry lozenges, Haribo Tangfastics, cold Ambrosia Devon custard, bread pudding, mixed spice, a pinch of cayenne pepper, toasted oak and a tease of menthol freshness.

Finish: A long, refined and charismatically confident finish, which helps to elevate this dram into an absolute stunner of a sensory story!

Summary: What else can be said about this latest permanent release from Redbreast, than it’s another dramspanking irish dramming ditty of a belter! Beautifully balanced interplay between bourbon, sherry and ruby port casks, which helps to deliver sip after sip of pure palatable pleasure!

The Whisky Wire 10th Birthday Bottle Competition

As part of our 10th Birthday celebrations and in addition to our upcoming Tweet Tasting, we’re thrilled to be teaming up with Lambay Irish Whiskey, to give one of our followers the chance of winning a bottle of their new limited-edition Single Cask Strength, Single Malt Irish Whiskey.

Launched last month in Dubai Duty Free, and limited to just 400 bottles, Lambay Single Cask Strength, Single Malt Whiskey, was initially matured in bourbon casks before being finished in Cognac casks, which were hand-selected by Camus Cellar Master, Patrick Léger. 

The casks which are sent across the sea from the world-renowned cellars of Maison Camus France, are then placed in a bonded warehouse on Lambay Island, where its western shoreline offers the perfect conditions for maritime maturation, where sea-spray, iodine, brine and the islands natural botanicals infuse the wood as the whiskey matures.

To be in with a chance of winning a bottle of Lambay Single Cask Strength, Single Malt Whiskey, click here to email us with your contact details and date of birth, along with the phrase that dramming pays:

“I’d love to pour and explore the latest,

lush and lovely dramspanking

Irish dramming ditty from Lambay”
