Redbreast Lustau Edition Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
A masterpiece of collaboration between Midleton Distillery in Ireland and Bodegas Lustau of Jerez, Redbreast Lustau Edition is a celebration of two great traditions - Irish whiskey craftsmanship and Spanish sherry artistry. Matured initially in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, it is then finished in first-fill Oloroso butts from Lustau’s soleras, where it develops an extraordinary depth of flavour and elegance.
On the nose, rich aromas of raisin, fig, and toasted almond rise over notes of sweet oak and vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, offering flavours of fruitcake, nutmeg, caramel, and warm sherry sweetness balanced by creamy malt and subtle pot still spice. The finish is long, warming, and luxurious - lingering with layers of dried fruit, oak, and nutty richness. Bottled at 46% ABV, it delivers a bold yet refined experience that exemplifies Redbreast’s signature balance of sweetness, spice, and structure.
Produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Redbreast Lustau Edition reflects over a century of dedication to quality and tradition. The partnership with Bodegas Lustau continues the brand’s historic bond between Irish whiskey and Spanish sherry casks, creating a whiskey that is rich, complex, and unmistakably elegant. A perfect fusion of heritage and innovation, Redbreast Lustau Edition stands among the finest examples of single pot still whiskey in the world.

NVRedbreast Lustau Edition is a masterful collaboration between Midleton Distillery in Ireland and Bodegas Lustau, one of Spain’s most revered sherry producers. This expression takes the iconic Redbreast Single Pot Still whiskey and elevates it through an exclusive finish in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, hand-selected from Lustau’s bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera. The result is an extraordinary whiskey that beautifully intertwines Irish craftsmanship with Andalusian sherry artistry.
Matured initially in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, then finished in Lustau’s finest sherry-seasoned oak, the whiskey develops a deep, complex profile rich in dried fruit, nutty sweetness, and warm spice. Bottled at 46% ABV, Redbreast Lustau Edition delivers a fuller-bodied, more indulgent interpretation of the classic Redbreast style — a perfect harmony of fruit, malt, and oak, wrapped in velvety sherry richness.
Produced at the legendary Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Redbreast is the definitive expression of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey — a style unique to Ireland that blends malted and unmalted barley, triple-distilled for smoothness and depth. The brand’s roots trace back to Gilbey’s of Dublin, a wine and spirit merchant who began maturing Irish whiskey in sherry casks over a century ago.
The Lustau Edition continues that legacy through a modern collaboration with Bodegas Lustau, renowned for its exceptional sherries and centuries-old expertise in cask seasoning. This partnership celebrates the shared heritage of two traditions — Irish whiskey and Spanish sherry — resulting in a whiskey that is both globally inspired and unmistakably Irish. The Redbreast Lustau Edition stands as a testament to the artistry of cask finishing and the enduring pursuit of perfection that defines the Redbreast name.
