Redbreast Small Batch Cask Strength Irish Whiskey 750mL is a limited-release Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey crafted at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. Produced from a traditional combination of malted and unmalted barley, this expression was initially matured in a combination of ex-bourbon American oak and Oloroso sherry-seasoned Spanish oak casks before receiving an additional 70-day finish in Oloroso sherry butts. Released as a special U.S.-exclusive bottling, it carries the Batch B1/19 designation and is bottled at a powerful 117.4 proof (58.7% ABV) without being reduced to the strength of the standard Redbreast expressions.

Redbreast Small Batch Cask Strength delivers a concentrated version of the distillery’s signature fruit, spice, and sherry-driven character. The nose opens with dark cherry, vanilla, dried fruit, toasted oak, and rich sherry notes. The palate develops layers of caramel, ripe fruit, baking spice, toasted nuts, vanilla, and seasoned oak, supported by the creamy texture associated with traditional Single Pot Still Irish whiskey. The finish is long, warming, and spicy, with lingering dried fruit, oak, vanilla, and Oloroso sherry richness.
