Redbreast has announced the launch of its 15 Year Old Cask Strength — a small-batch release crafted to celebrate 20 years since Redbreast 15 Year Old was launched.

First released as a one-off bottling, Redbreast 15 Year Old was so acclaimed that it was soon added as a permanent fixture of the Redbreast range.

Bottled at 56.3% ABV, the cask strength bottling is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks. Said to remain true to Redbreast’s signature style, producers have described it as having bright and crisp flavour notes with herbal undertones and a lively spice character.

Commenting on the launch, master blender Dave McCabe said: “This release is a celebration of everything Redbreast 15 Year Old represents — heritage, craftsmanship, and character. Bottling it at natural cask strength allows the whiskey to fully showcase its complexity and vibrancy. Selecting 15 casks for this expression was a meaningful choice, connecting the whiskey’s age to its creation story."

The launch harnesses the brand’s wider global campaign “Quite the Find” celebrating “the joy of discovering hidden gems.” The theme was recently brought to life through Redbreast’s partnership with actor Andrew Scott and the Redbreast Unhidden short film award at the SXSW Film & TV Festival.

Master blender emeritus Billy Leighton added "When Redbreast 15 was first created it was intended to be a one-time release. Its overwhelming success led it to become a permanent part of our portfolio. This cask strength edition captures the spirit of that original moment — delivering a whiskey that is both deeply familiar and thrillingly new. It’s a bold tribute to our fans and a reminder that every batch, like every Redbreast, has its own unique personality."

Crafted from a marriage of 15 specially selected casks — a deliberate tribute to the 15 year age statement — the release will be available exclusively here from 11 June.
