The Redbreast PX was at my favorite store for $99. So was the Redbreast 12 Cask Strength (for a bit less), which I bought. So I missed out on the PX, but no regrets. Thanks for the review.

This was my second favorite whiskey I picked up in 2021 only behind Remus V. I got a lot of blueberry and raisin muffin on the pallet with my bottle. Just traded for 2 backups definitely worth it!

I have the 12, 15, Lustau, and PX editions. The PX is my favorite, with Lustau very close. The difference is the PX has more of a bourbon finish, and the Lustau has more of a sherry finish. The 12 is good, but after drinking the PX, the 12 taste dull. Thank you for your upload and for making my tasting engaging.

Check out the Redbreast Lustau. A unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton Distillery, Redbreast Lustau Edition is made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in copper pot stills. Having spent its final maturation journey in casks seasoned with the finest Oloroso Sherry in the Bodegas Lustau, the result is the ultimate sherried style of Redbreast.

Your comments about whether or not the PX is "replacing" the Lustau. (Which I hope not, Lustau is amazing!) Just like was the small batch cask strength replacing the 12yr cask strength..? I wish middleton would give the whiskey nerds of the world more clarification on their plans of the redbreast line

@@gman5986 Cask is such a good Redbreast expression. It could be my palette changing , but in recent years Cask hasn't been quite the same for me. Great, but the old irishy aftertaste is not as strong as it used to be for me. I still like cask a lot. It may be the sherry influence that is clouding my judgement as the PX is so tasty with a tinge of sweetness, but I also get that "oh, that is a special pot still whiskey" after taste. I just think they didb an above average job. Spendy, but a great one to try. I have banned myself from opening the remaining bottles i have left for a while to conserve the greatness. Cheers! So for me, yes, this years batch of PX is held above this year's cask and 15 for my palette.

I stocked up with a few, but I don't think I'll do a second round of stocking like the upcoming Blue Spot. If this was Lustau pricing, it would be.. but the $20 jump makes it borderline for me. I do think it's better than Lustau, but not $20 better.

For me. Nose: standard Irish vanilla maybe leaning a bit towards biscuits and some mineralization. Start: Dense mouth feel that is overcome by the same notes from the nose. Holds deep notes of sherry but is beginning to open up into deep starches, warm grain, and dessert. Mid. Holds density as it washes the pallet. Proof hits in a manor that is a bit more impact full than expected per label. Within that it Holds and defines a pure browned Irish butter with a hint of sweetness. The oils carry a deep savory note while the sweeter sherry notes bring excitement to the mid pallet. I'd say savory non stone fruit something you want in a pie. It leaves it open enough to find your experience. I look forward to that. Viscosity and mouth feel hold past the full back pallet. It creates an expression that has impact on physical experience specifically on the back pallet or during and after swallow. warmth carried for over 25- 45 seconds. FINISH FLAVOR: Browned crust, caramelized fruits, honey and raw dark sugars. AFTER: Maintaining a deep fragrant scent on the back pallet along with proof Lasting flavor: vanilla and brown butter cookies.
