{"product_id":"redbreast-18-year-old-irish-whiskey-750-ml","title":"Redbreast 18 Year Old Irish Whiskey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRedbreast 18 Year Old is a new permanent addition to the Redbreast family — matured in a blend of ex-bourbon barrels, Oloroso sherry casks, cream sherry casks, and ruby port casks for 18 years, with the addition of cream sherry casks from the esteemed Antonio Páez Lobato cooperage marking a distinctive expansion of the multi-cask program that defines the Redbreast house style.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of cream sherry casks — a rarity in Redbreast whiskey, sourced from Antonio Páez Lobato — is what makes the 18 Year distinctive within the range. Cream sherry is a sweeter, lighter style than Oloroso, contributing honey, dried apricot, and a softer sweetness that complements rather than duplicates the darker, richer Oloroso influence. Combined with ruby port's berry-fruit complexity and the bourbon barrel's vanilla foundation, the four-cask program produces the fruity aroma, hazelnut chocolate depth, and caramelized stone fruit sweetness that the Master Blender designed this expression to deliver. At 46% ABV and 18 years, it sits at the fully developed middle of the Redbreast range — above the 15 Year in complexity and age, below the 21 Year's tropical fruit apex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruity aromas with hazelnut, chocolate, and the signature Redbreast pot still spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hazelnut chocolate, caramelized stone fruit sweetness — the four-cask complexity at full 18-year integration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and sustained with dried fruit and pot still spice persisting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, cream sherry (Antonio Páez Lobato), ruby port\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46% (92 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/irish-whiskey\"\u003eIrish whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Where does the 18 Year sit in the Redbreast range?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Above the 15 Year (three casks) in both age and cask complexity — the 18 Year adds cream sherry from Antonio Páez Lobato and ruby port to produce four-cask complexity.
