Redbreast — the apex of the standard Redbreast age-stated range, presenting Ireland's most celebrated single pot still whiskey at 21 years of maturation — non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% ABV with the full textural richness of two decades of Irish oak aging.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 21 years, the single pot still character that defines Redbreast — the oily, spicy, full-bodied quality produced by the unmalted barley mashbill — has integrated fully with the American bourbon, American virgin oak, and Spanish sherry cask program to produce a whiskey of remarkable tropical fruit depth that surprised the industry when it launched. The banana, butterscotch, and mango character at 21 years is unexpected from a whiskey this aged — a product of the pot still's fruit ester production at the specific maturation point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banana, butterscotch, fresh cream, bacon fat, tropical fruit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe mango, brioche, toffee, textured pot still spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very long, tropical, warming wood spice\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 21 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered, 46% ABV\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/midleton\"\u003eMidleton at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e or explore our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/irish-whiskey\"\u003eIrish whiskey collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the 21 Year have such unusual tropical fruit character for an aged whiskey?\u003c\/strong\u003e The single pot still's unmalted barley mashbill produces higher ester levels than grain or malt whiskey. At 21 years those esters have developed into the specific tropical fruit compounds — banana, mango, brioche — that define the expression. The result is more unusual at this age than the darker, oakier profile most people expect from a 21-year spirit.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs the 21 Year the top of the standard Redbreast range?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the Redbreast standard age-stated range runs 12, 15, and 21 years. Above the 21 Year sits the Redbreast 27 Year (also in the collection), which is a limited ultra-aged tier beyond the standard range.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why does the 21 Year have tropical fruit character?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The unmalted barley mashbill produces higher ester levels than grain or malt whiskey.
