Redbreast 12 Year Old Pedro Ximénez (PX) Edition — 2024 Release
Luxurious, indulgent, and unmistakably Irish - Redbreast 12 Year Old PX Edition brings a new dimension of richness to one of the world’s most beloved single pot still whiskeys. Building on the foundation of the classic Redbreast 12, this limited edition is matured in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks before being finished in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks from Spain’s renowned sherry region. The result is a whiskey of stunning depth, where Redbreast’s signature spice meets the opulent sweetness of PX.
On the nose, it reveals aromas of raisin, fig, and dark chocolate, followed by a velvety palate of fruitcake, caramel, and honeyed spice. The finish is long, warming, and decadently smooth, lingering with notes of rich fruit, oak, and toffee. Bottled at 46% ABV, it delivers the perfect balance of sweetness, structure, and traditional pot still character.
Crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, this release exemplifies Redbreast’s dedication to craftsmanship and cask mastery. The PX Edition celebrates the union of Irish whiskey heritage and Spanish sherry artistry, offering an experience that is both refined and irresistibly indulgent - a modern classic for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

2024Redbreast 12 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Edition is a luxurious reimagining of one of Ireland’s most celebrated whiskeys. Building on the classic Redbreast 12 Year Old, this special edition introduces a final maturation in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, adding an indulgent layer of sweetness and depth. The result is a whiskey that combines Redbreast’s signature pot still spice and creamy texture with the rich, dessert-like character of Spain’s finest sherry.
Matured initially in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, then finished in PX-seasoned oak, this whiskey offers a tapestry of flavour — dark fruit, honeyed sweetness, chocolate, and spice, harmoniously balanced by warm oak. Bottled at 46% ABV, it delivers an opulent yet balanced drinking experience, capturing both the heritage of Irish whiskey craftsmanship and the richness of Spanish sherry tradition.
Produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, the home of Ireland’s most respected whiskey brands, Redbreast has long been the definitive example of the Single Pot Still style — a uniquely Irish method using a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled for exceptional smoothness.
The Redbreast PX Edition continues the distillery’s tradition of innovation and excellence, uniting Ireland’s whiskey-making mastery with the influence of Andalusian sherry casks. The use of Pedro Ximénez wood, known for imparting rich notes of raisin, fig, and molasses, elevates the Redbreast profile into new territory — deeper, sweeter, and more complex. This limited 2024 release stands as a tribute to Redbreast’s enduring quality, while celebrating the artistry that defines the Midleton Distillery’s cask-finishing expertise.
