Redbreast Of. Mano a lamh All Sherry Limited Edition

The wine

Redbreast Mano a Lámh (meaning “hand in hand”) is an edition whose name is written half in Galician and half in Gaelic in tribute to the partnership between the Midleton distillery and Bodega Páez Morilla, who has produced its sherry casks for 20 years. The whiskey was of course matured entirely in sherry casks. A limited edition of 2,000 bottles for members of The Stillhouse, an online group of single pot still whiskey enthusiasts.

About the Producer Midleton

Midleton in County Cork is Ireland’s largest distillery. It was founded in 1825 by brothers James, Daniel and Jeremiah Murphy. In 1966, the groups Jameson, Powers, and Cork Distillers merged to form Irish Distillers. In 1975, the Powers and Jameson distilleries were closed and a new distillery opened next to Midleton to centralize and optimize production for the various brands. The old distillery then closed and Midleton became the only distillery in Ireland until Cooley opened two years later. The focus then turned to the Jameson blend, to the detriment of the single pot stills that have gradually come back into fashion in recent years.
