Redbreast Lustau Edition
Irish Distillers (Pernod Ricard)
The Lustau Edition is Redbreast's most layered expression — a whiskey that seems to change shape in the glass. That final year in Lustau's first-fill Oloroso butts doesn't overpower the pot still character; it adds a last chapter to an already complex story.
Yellow Spot 12 Year Old
Irish Distillers (Pernod Ricard)
Yellow Spot is the middle child of the Spot range, and arguably the most balanced. Three-cask blend: bourbon, sherry, and Malaga.
Midleton Very Rare 2024
Irish Distillers (Pernod Ricard)
Writers' Tears Cask Strength 2022 Edition
Writers' Tears
The 2022 cask strength release demonstrates why Writers' Tears has earned a loyal following. The combination of single pot still and single malt at full proof delivers density without sacrificing the elegance that defines the brand. A drop of water opens it beautifully.
Kilbeggan Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Peated
Kilbeggan
This bottling from one of Ireland's oldest distilleries proves that peat need not be an Islay monopoly. The flame here is Irish turf — softer, earthier, more herbaceous than Scottish peat — and it plays beautifully against the pot still's inherent oiliness. An underrated expression that deserves wider attention.
Waterford Sheestown Edition 8.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford
Waterford's single farm origin concept makes the barrel's influence a controlled variable, letting the barley itself speak. This Sheestown edition shows how terroir and restrained oak maturation can produce a whiskey of elegant precision. It's intellectual without being austere.
Midleton Dair Ghaelach Bluebell Forest Tree No. 4
Midleton
Midleton's Dair Ghaelach series is a masterclass in how maturation vessel transforms spirit. Tree No. 4 from Bluebell Forest showcases the furnace-like intensity of virgin Irish oak tamed by the decades-long patience of pot still maturation. At cask strength, it's a riveting study in heat shaped by time—bold, complex, and unmistakably Irish.
