At 12 years the pot still spice and fruit are fresh and direct. At 21 years they develop into the unexpected tropical fruit character the expression is known for. At 27 years, the three-cask program of bourbon, sherry, and ruby port has had nearly three decades to work on the pot still spirit — the bourbon barrels contributing vanilla and soft fruit, the sherry casks adding dried fruit and depth, and the ruby port pipes introducing the complex berry-fruit and tannin character that port cask maturation specifically develops in very aged spirit. The result is the fully mature statement of what the Midleton distillery's pot still tradition is capable of when given maximum time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and complex — dried fruit, pot still spice, vanilla, and the subtle port fruit that 27 years in three cask types develops\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied and layered — the bourbon, sherry, and port cask contributions integrated by nearly three decades of Irish aging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very long and warming with the characteristic Redbreast pot still spice persisting alongside the dried fruit and port character\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 27 years minimum\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Triple distilled in copper pot stills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon barrels, sherry casks, ruby port pipes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered\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\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat does ruby port cask maturation add to Irish whiskey?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuby port casks carry residual compounds from fortified red wine — berry fruit, dried cherry, and a subtle tannin structure that differs from sherry (dried fruit and nuts) or bourbon (vanilla and caramel).
