On the nose, an elegant interplay of dried fruits, nuts, and a hint of vanilla unfolds. The aromatic profile is complemented by subtle nuances of chocolate and caramel, which lend depth to the composition. On the palate, the Lustau Sherry Finish opens with a full-bodied and harmonious flavor. The sweet notes of raisins and figs blend perfectly with a gentle oak note. A slightly spicy finish rounds off the experience and leaves a flavorsome impression.

Production of Redbreast Lustau Sherry Finish

The production of the Lustau Sherry Finish is based on traditional methods that have been perfected over generations. The foundation is a careful selection of Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey, which receives its initial refinement through maturation in former bourbon casks. After a minimum maturation period of 12 years, the whiskey is transferred into casks that previously held premium Lustau Sherry. This second maturation process gives the whiskey its unique character and aromas.

The key steps in the production process are:

1. Selection of premium Irish whiskey
2. Initial maturation in bourbon casks
3. Transfer into Lustau sherry casks
4. Second maturation to develop the aromas

During maturation in the sherry casks, a nuanced flavor develops that combines both sweet and dry aromas. The balanced blend of fruitiness and spice ensures that the Lustau Sherry Finish fits perfectly into any collection. Finally, it is bottled gently to preserve its full quality.
