Ireland meets Andalusia — Redbreast Lustau Edition is a unique collaboration between the Midleton Distillery in County Cork and Bodegas Lustau, one of Spain’s most celebrated sherry producers. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills in the great Midleton tradition, and then given its final maturation in casks seasoned with the finest Oloroso sherry from Bodegas Lustau — the result is the ultimate sherried expression of Redbreast, delivering a depth of fruit, spice, and sherry character that is unlike anything else in the Irish whiskey category.

FAQs
Who is Bodegas Lustau?
One of Spain’s most celebrated and respected sherry producers, based in Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia — Lustau’s Oloroso sherry casks are among the finest available, imparting extraordinary depth of dried fruit, nutty richness, and warm spice to any spirit finished in them.
What makes this different from other Redbreast expressions?
The Lustau Edition is the only Redbreast finished in Oloroso sherry casks from a named sherry producer — delivering a more pronounced and complex sherry influence than the standard Redbreast range, making it the definitive sherried expression in the lineup.
How should I drink it?
Neat to fully appreciate the Oloroso sherry and pot still complexity — also exceptional with a single ice cube that slowly opens up the dried fruit and spice character as it melts.
