Irish Whisky, Ireland / County Cork
Profile: the nose is full-bodied and energetic, characterised by notes of orange blossom and almond. Expressing rancio notes, it develops into exotic fruit and notes of floral honeys. The palate is marked by cereals (malted and unmalted barley) and coconut. The very fresh finish is at once Andalusian and Irish.

TASTING NOTE
Appearance: Burnished gold with copper tinges.
Nose: Full-bodied, expressive. With boundless energy, the initial nose transports us to Andalusia to breathe in the aromas of orange blossom, candied apricot and almond. This stunning, fruity rancio then develops into new citrus fruits (lime, grapefruit) and notes of delicious honey (lime tree, lavender). Gradually, the aromatic palette becomes increasingly exotic (mango, passion fruit, Kaffir lime).
Palate: Clean, precise. Right from the attack on the palate, Redbreast unmistakably rises from the glass. The malted and unmalted barley is joyfully expressed, revealing a no-holds-barred character that is herbaceous, green and tinted with the exoticism of the most famous Irish Single Pot Stills. Deliciously generous and smooth, the end of the palate is creamy (almond milk, coconut), subtly liquorice, and spicy (ginger).
Overall: Long, silky. Here, the balance between the Andalusian character of the nose and the Irish character of the palate comes to the fore. From this osmosis comes a huge freedom of expression, coupled with a pleasant sensation of freshness. Constantly evolving between these two worlds creates a feeling of intense pleasure. The retro-nasal olfaction is floral (carnation, peony) and the empty glass spicy and liquorice.
