Irish Whiskey

The Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition is triple distilled in copper pot stills and matured in American Bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry butts. Then it’s finished for a minimum of 4 months in hand selected, air-dried American Oak from the Taylor family farm in Kentucky.

Bottle number four of seven in the Midleton Kylebeg Wood series. This rich and subtly chocolatey pot still whiskey was finished in casks cut from a single native Irish oak – sourced from a managed forest in Country Laois. After felling, this venerable tree was shipped to Spain where it was cut and left to dry in the warm climate of Jerez. After fifteen months, the staves were coopered into hogsheads and sent back to Ireland to be filled with this unique spirit.

“Dair Ghaelach” means quite simply, Irish Oak.
While the name may be simple, the story of this whiskey is unique. This whiskey has been finished in casks made from virgin Irish oak grown in Kylebeg Wood on the Ballykilcavan Estate, near Stradbally in Co. Laois.
