Redbreast 15 Year Old Irish Whiskey
Redbreast 15 Year Old Irish Whiskey is a 750mL single pot still Irish whiskey bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), triple distilled from a mash of malted and unmalted barley at the Midleton Distillery and matured in Oloroso sherry-seasoned and bourbon-seasoned oak casks. First created in 2005 as a limited edition for La Maison du Whisky in Paris, it earned a permanent place in the range — three extra years beyond the 12 Year Old give it a rounder, more mellow profile — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Paris Limited Edition That Stayed
Redbreast 15 began life as an exclusive bottling for La Maison du Whisky in Paris, and drinkers refused to let it stay a one-off — it is now a permanent member of the family. It is the same Midleton pot still whiskey as the 12 Year Old, given three more years in sherry and bourbon-seasoned oak, and the extra time shows in a fuller, mellower whiskey that keeps the house's spice and dried-fruit character.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand: a full, rich nose with a complex yet balanced mix of berry fruits and aromatic oils; a fully round, mellow palate with the succulence of fleshy fruit combined with spices and toasted wood; and a long, sophisticated finish.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat to taste the extra years, or add a splash of water to lift the berry fruit and aromatic oils. It also makes a rich, spice-led Old Fashioned. More Midleton pot still whiskey is in our Irish whiskey collection.
