Redbreast Dream Cask 20 Year Pedro Ximénez Edition Cask 2 Irish Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Full rich aroma of liquorice and treacle toffee, giving cover to vanilla sweetness and a concentrate of caramelised dried fruits. Cinnamon and clove acknowledge the presence of the ex-bourbon influence whilst hazelnut and almond nuttiness adds to the complexity delivered by the fine old Pedro Ximénez Butt from Jerez.
Palate: A rich viscose mouthful of satisfyingly assertive spices combined with sweet ripe fruit. The liquorice notes slowly evolve to reveal those typical exotic fruits and berries which define the Redbreast style.
Finish: Rich and long with those familiar Redbreast berries, slow to fade .
