Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition

Enter a lush and expressive chapter in the Redbreast legacy with the Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition, a limited-release Irish single pot still whiskey finished in Moscatel wine casks for a vivid interplay of spice, fruit, and sweet warmth. Celebrated for its rich character and heritage rooted in traditional Irish pot still distillation, Redbreast elevates its classic depth by introducing the aromatic and floral influence of Moscatel wine maturation. The result is a whiskey that feels both familiar and refreshingly dynamic — rich, vibrant, and layered with vivid fruit and spice notes shaped by its unique cask journey.

🥃 Product Overview
Crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland, the Moscatel Wine Cask Edition begins with Redbreast’s signature triple-distilled pot still base — a blend of malted and unmalted barley distilled with subtle grain spirit. After a period in traditional seasoned oak, the whiskey is finished in Moscatel wine casks formerly used to mature fortified Moscatel wine, known for floral aromatics and honeyed sweetness. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) and presented in a distinctive edition that highlights the influence of wine cask finishing, it showcases both the heritage and innovation Redbreast is known for.
