Redbreast Pedro Ximenéz Edition
Welcoming Redbreast Pedro Ximenéz Edition
You know Redbreast as one of the leading lights of Irish whiskey and the creators of some of the finest sherried whiskeys on the market. Now the brand has launched a new expression for its Iberian series, which celebrates the brand’s historic and productive connection with Spain.
The Pedro Ximenéz Edition is the latest show-stopping sherried single pot still whiskey, a showcase of the most beloved cask styles in whiskey and of the fine whiskey Redbreast crafts at the famed Midleton Distillery.
Redbreast Pedro Ximénez Cask Edition
Redbreast Pedro Ximénez edition is a Single Pot Still Whiskey, tripled distilled, initially matured in Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks before being re-casked in delectable Pedro Ximénez hogsheads from the southern tip of Spain, for a sweet finish.
Pedro Ximénez (PX) casks are prized in the whisky industry for their ability to impart rich, intense flavours to the spirit during maturation. Whisky aged in PX casks often develop notes of dried fruits like raisins and figs, along with sweet, syrupy flavours such as molasses, toffee, and chocolate.

Hints of fruit, spices and toasted nuts combine with the subtly sweet aroma of Pedro Ximénez sherry seasoned casks.
Palate:
A zesty, syrupy mouthful with the perfect balance of fruit, spice and toasted notes.
Finish:
Satisfyingly rich and long, sweet flavours linger on the palate.

When the series launched back in 2021, master blender Billy Leighton said: “Iberia has been central to the history of Redbreast, and my colleagues and I have been visiting the peninsula since the 1980s. The close relationships fostered there over decades have led to many delightful discoveries…”
