The Palace Bar - Redbreast 17yr Old Single Cask
Redbreast 17-Year-Old Single Pot Still – Palace Bar Exclusive (Cask No. 18831)
This rare Palace Bar Exclusive showcases Redbreast at exceptional maturity and intensity. Drawn from Cask No. 18831, a specially selected single cask reserved for one of Dublin’s most historic Victorian whiskey houses, this 17-year-old single pot still whiskey displays remarkable depth and character. Bottled at a powerful 59.7% ABV, it delivers amplified flavour while retaining the refined balance that defines the Redbreast style.
The profile is rich and luxurious, offering layers of dried fruits, honeyed sweetness, roasted nuts, spiced orchard fruits, dark caramel, and warm baking spices, all carried on a foundation of well-aged oak. The cask strength presentation intensifies these notes, culminating in a long, complex, and deeply satisfying finish.
Extremely limited, with very few bottles remaining, this single cask release is a true collector’s item—an outstanding example of Redbreast’s legendary pot still character and a fitting tribute to The Palace Bar’s enduring whiskey heritage.

Tasting notes
Nose: Initial sweet notes of raisins and dates, reminiscent of the Oloroso sherry wine, work seamlessly in tandem with the pot still spices creating balance, while the Spanish oak adds further depth with notes of toasted wood and soft waves of vanilla.
Taste: Mouth coating with a treacle-like texture, mild nuttiness and dried fruit character with the tannins evolving over time adding a slightly dry note along with roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate.
Finish: The pot still spices linger while the fruit sweet character fades, leaving the oak tannins continue to the very end.
