Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#42972) of Redbreast distilled in 1991, aged in first-fill sherry casks and bottled in 2016 for the 60th anniversary of La Maison du Whisky. On the nose, notes of prunes emerge from the glass. This pot still whiskey, produced by the Midleton distillery, clearly evokes a Bas-Armagnac. On the palate, however, notes of exotic fruits and varnish plant our roots firmly on Irish soil. Over time, this contrast fades and these two worlds that are so different find common ground in which charm, harmony, smoothness, class and a delightful freshness play leading roles. A limited edition of 624 bottles.

The distillery Midleton

Midleton in County Cork is Ireland’s largest distillery. It was founded in 1825 by brothers James, Daniel and Jeremiah Murphy. In 1966, the groups Jameson, Powers, and Cork Distillers merged to form Irish Distillers. In 1975, the Powers and Jameson distilleries were closed and a new distillery opened next to Midleton to centralize and optimize production for the various brands. The old distillery then closed and Midleton became the only distillery in Ireland until Cooley opened two years later. The focus then turned to the Jameson blend, to the detriment of the single pot stills that have gradually come back into fashion in recent years.
