Though prior editions of Redbreast have also been aged in former sherry casks, this blend was crafted with the goal of putting flavors imparted from Oloroso sherry at the forefront of the palate. The Master Blender at Midleton Distillery (where Redbreast is distilled), Billy Leighton, stated "Its putting the spotlight on the Lustau, but its putting the floodlight on the sherry business in general. I think its kind of us giving credit or appreciation to the people in the sherry business for doing what they do for us. I think the whisky business in general is not very good at showing appreciation at what other people are doing to support them. Its kind of us tipping our hat to the sherry business in general; to show that we appreciate it. You have to give credit where its due." As are all Redbreast whiskeys, Lustau Edition is crafted from a marriage of malted and unmalted barley, which are milled and mashed before being triple-distilled through traditional copper-pot stills. The inclusions of unmalted barley in the whiskeys mashbill, along with the tradition of triple distillation, are uniquely Irish approaches to producing whiskey.Following distillation, the Irish whiskey is matured for nine to twelve years in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks. What makes this blend particularly special is the final year it spends finishing in Spanish oak Oloroso casks, hand-selected from Bodegas Lustau for the purpose of accenting sherry flavors that underlie previous releases from Redbreast. As a result, Redbreast Lustau Edition has an aroma of stone fruit, prunes and dates accented with anise and toasted oak. The creamy palate combines spices typical to the Redbreast line with a rich sherry finish thanks to the Spanish oak.This is a historic release from Redbreast, the first permanent addition to the collection since Redbreast 21 premiered in 2013.
