Redbreast Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Moscatel Wine Cask Edition
Redbreast Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Moscatel Wine Cask Edition
Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition is the fifth release in Redbreast’s acclaimed Iberian Series, a collection inspired by the house’s historic links to the Iberian Peninsula and Gilbey’s legacy of importing fortified wines since the late 1800s. This limited-edition expression brings a bright Mediterranean character to Redbreast’s signature Single Pot Still style.
Finished in rare Moscatel wine casks sourced from the sun-drenched hills of Málaga, Spain, this whiskey is the result of a close partnership with Bodegas Quitapenas, a family-owned bodega established in 1880. The Moscatel wine, aged for 24 months in American oak, imparts floral elegance and vibrant fruit notes to the casks before they are transported to Midleton Distillery. Since 2024, Redbreast Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey has been maturing in these casks, absorbing their fragrant, honeyed influence.
The result is a rich yet refined expression that marries Redbreast’s creamy, pot still depth with lifted aromas of citrus, orchard fruit, and delicate sweetness—an evocative meeting of Irish tradition and Mediterranean warmth.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the Irish whiskey lover who already knows Redbreast and would relish seeing it in a new light. As the fifth release in the Iberian Series, it suits collectors following the line, and its bright, fragrant character makes it a natural pick for a summer birthday, a promotion toast, or a thank-you to someone with a taste for elegant spirits. Redbreast's creamy single pot still whiskey is finished in Moscatel wine casks from Málaga, sourced through Bodegas Quitapenas, a family-owned bodega founded in 1880. In the glass that partnership shows up as floral aromas, lime zest, green apple and soft honey, with a hint of white grape and sweet spice. The palate is silky and layered, orchard fruit and gentle citrus resting on soft oak, and the finish lingers with honey and delicate floral sweetness. Suggest the recipient pour it neat in a tulip glass, perhaps with a few drops of water to brighten the citrus, on a warm evening worth marking.
