A masterful collaboration between Irish and Spanish heritage, Redbreast Lustau Edition is a single pot still Irish whiskey finished in first-fill sherry casks from Bodegas Lustau in Jerez, Spain. This expression starts its life in a combination of bourbon and sherry-seasoned American oak casks, then enjoys a final maturation exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts. The result is a whiskey that unites the depth of traditional Irish craftsmanship with the vibrancy of Spanish sherry casks.

Available now at Whiskey Caviar, this bottle is a stunning addition for anyone seeking complex flavor with a touch of sweetness and spice.
