All smiles in Sonny's over the weekend 👏🏻

Redbreast 27 Year Old elevates the storied reputation of this iconic wh***ey even further. Building on the celebrated foundation of bourbon and sherry influence is the inclusion of ruby port casks for even more complexity and depth. 🥃

NOSE
Remarkable aroma spanning fresh tropical fruits, nuts and rich dried fruit.

TASTE
Soft vanilla, toasted oak, sherry nuttiness with a dusting of spices. Luscious fleshy fruit notes complete the silky mouthfeel.

FINISH
Lingers, seemingly forever, with oak and an assortment of spices and then, the final bow from barley – where it all began.
