The good folk over use their poitín as a base spirit to make a lovely range of liqueurs. Their plum poitin liqueur is particularly nice enjoyed as a highball with some ginger ale along with some bitters & fresh lime to balance it out. A perfect summertime thirst quencher!

“The wh***ey might be made in Midleton but it comes to life in The Palace Bar….”
An exceptional single cask exclusive from ***ey and . Twenty five year old single pot still Irish wh***ey aged solely in a sherry butt and only available at the premises or online. It can also be purchased by the glass at the bar. ***ey

As a special prelude to hosting a tasting of their single cask ***ey last week, the owner Willie Aherne unveiled the bar that he’s been renovating just around the corner on O’Connell Bridge. Say hello to Bill Aherne’s - a meticulously refurbished premises looking right out onto the river Liffey. The back bar is particularly attractive with a barrel pour installed to allow ***ey to go straight to the glass. A lovely nod to how Irish wh***ey used to be served in pubs of yesteryear! More on that lovely single cask bottling later…. ***ey

A little bit of myth busting from the Poitín Parlour today - covering a topic that we get asked about all the time!

Tonight we’ll be raising a glass or two to our clients and old friends over in ***ey. On Tuesday the Irish team officially launched the latest bottling in their range....
Inspired by Redbreast’s historic ties with fortified wines, Redbreast Moscatel W**e Cask Edition is first matured in a selection of ex-American wh***ey casks and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, followed by a final maturation period of 16 months in Málaga Moscatel casks. Bottled at 46% ABV, Redbreast Moscatel W**e Cask Edition is rich in Mediterranean expression, bringing a noticeably elegant and more citrus forward personality to the Iberian Series.
A small gathering was held at The Library Bar in the Hoxton Hotel where master blender Dave McCabe hosted a cask component breakdown of the wh***ey before finally unveiling the Moscatel W**e edition itself. As a welcome drink a beautiful Redbreast milk punch was mixed and served by the hotel’s excellent bartenders.
Redbreast Moscatel W**e Edition is available nationwide as well as from MidletonDistilleryCollection.com, USA, UK, Germany and Global Travel Retail.
