Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This is the fourth annual Redbreast Dream Cask release, a 29-year-old Single Pot Still Irish whiskey that spent those years in a combination of ex-Bourbon, Sherry, and Ruby Port casks. It was then finished in a single Oloroso Sherry butt for 15 months before bottling. The nose is fruity and sweet with subtle spices and touches of peaches, red apples, apricots, and a hint of ginger. The taste is nectar-thick and luscious with a great balance of fruity notes that dominate at the start, followed by a subtle burst of baking spices complemented by touches of honey and brown sugar. The finish is long and complex with an excellent balance. Wow! (May, 2021)
