{"product_id":"redbreast-missouri-oak","title":"Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition – Missouri Oak Cask Finish Irish Whiskey","description":"\u003cp\u003eRedbreast Kentucky Oak Edition is a unique and innovative release from the celebrated Midleton Distillery in Ireland, showcasing an intriguing transatlantic influence. This single pot still Irish whiskey begins its life in the traditional Redbreast manner: a mash bill of both malted and unmalted barley is triple distilled in copper pot stills. This method is central to the Redbreast character, imparting a rich, full-bodied, and spicy spirit. Following distillation, the whiskey undergoes initial maturation in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and ex-oloroso sherry butts, which are traditional for Redbreast and contribute notes of vanilla, dried fruit, and a classic richness. The innovative aspect of this edition comes in its finishing process. After a significant period of initial maturation, the whiskey is transferred for a finishing period (typically 12 to 24 months) into barrels crafted from virgin air-dried Missouri oak. These particular barrels are heavily charred, similar to those used for American bourbon, and impart a distinct flavor profile of toasted wood, charred notes, vanilla, and robust spices that complement and enhance the classic Redbreast character. This finishing technique adds layers of complexity and a unique depth, marrying the traditional Irish pot still style with the powerful influence of American oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redbreast","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":44862257594544,"sku":"80432001691","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/5368\/3632\/files\/Redbreast_Cask_Strength_6c74d488-9c2c-4d79-9a3c-948ddb3ed360.jpg?v=1764406024","url":"https:\/\/heavyliquor.com\/products\/redbreast-missouri-oak","provider":"Heavy Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
