{"product_id":"redbreast-kentucky-oak-edition","title":"Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRedbreast Kentucky Oak Edition is Irish single pot still whiskey finished in hand-selected, air-dried American oak from the Taylor family farm in Kentucky — triple distilled and matured in American bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry butts, then finished for a minimum of four months in virgin Kentucky oak to add elevated wood spice, vanilla, and what the distillery describes as an unmistakable taste of Southern hospitality.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kentucky Oak Edition is part of Redbreast's exploration of how different oak finishing affects the core pot still character — where the standard expressions use Spanish sherry butts and American bourbon barrels, the Kentucky Oak introduces virgin American oak from a specific farm. Air-dried oak — dried naturally over time rather than kiln-dried — produces a more refined, less tannic contribution than standard new oak, with the vanilla and spice integrating more smoothly into the pot still character. The Taylor family farm provenance gives the cask selection a specificity and traceability that most whiskey wood programs don't offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet vanilla and warm American oak spice from the Kentucky finish over the classic Redbreast pot still fruit and spice base\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elevated wood spice alongside the full-bodied pot still character — the Kentucky oak adding a distinctly American dimension to the Irish pot still foundation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and spiced — the virgin oak's contribution persisting alongside the pot still's characteristic length\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, Kentucky Oak Finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Triple distilled in copper pot stills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e American bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry butts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 4 months in air-dried American oak — Taylor family farm, Kentucky\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\":\"What is air-dried American oak and why does it matter?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Air-dried oak is naturally dried over time rather than kiln-dried.
