Redbreast Moscatel

Redbreast’s Iberian Series celebrates the long standing sherry heritage of Gilbey’s, which has been importing fortified wines since the late 1800s. This series explores the influence of exceptional casks sourced from across the Iberian Peninsula, expanding the depth and complexity of Redbreast’s signature sherried style.

For this fifth release in the Iberian Series, Master Blender David McCabe travelled to southern Spain to source Moscatel wine casks from the hills of Málaga. Partnering with Bodegas Quitapenas, a family owned bodega established in 1880, these casks were selected for their distinctive aromatic profile and expressive sweetness.

The Moscatel wine is aged in American oak for 24 months before the casks are emptied and transported to Midleton Distillery. Here, Redbreast’s Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is finished in the Moscatel casks, allowing the floral and fruit driven character of the wine to integrate beautifully with the whiskey’s rich pot still style.

The result is an elegant and expressive whiskey, offering layered notes of pineapple, peach, honey, and gentle spice, all balanced by Redbreast’s trademark depth and complexity.

A standout addition to the Iberian Series and a must try for Redbreast fans and sherry cask enthusiasts alike.
