Excerpt: If you have a sweet tooth, then this offers a nice variation on the Redbreast profile. It adds plenty of richness with toffee, syrupy notes and dried fruits without overdoing it.

House Review
Intro:
Part of the Irish whiskey brand's new endeavor, Redbreast PX takes their standard pot still Irish malt and finishes it in sweet wine casks known as Pedro Ximenez casks.
Nose:
Sweet cream, light cocoa, roasted nuts, big buttery texture on the nose. Brown butter, honey, light fig and raisin bread. Lots going on.
Taste:
Thin to medium mouthfeel, sweet cream and honey, lovely rich sherry character. Touch of strawberry, blackberry, light tobacco and some pepper.
Finish:
Long finish, sweet and creamy with just enough sherry to add a big facet of complexity.
Overall:
This bottling is a win for the brand, with Redbreast PX coming out well ahead of many recent releases in the same price class.
