Redbreast Oloroso Sherry 21 Year Old, Cask #21285, 2000, 58.7%

SilverRadio12 Oct

The appeal here is the contrast between rich fruit and dark chocolate, with spice, leather and tobacco adding a more savoury edge. The richly sherried palate and long, tobacco-led finish make this read as a mature, layered style rather than a straightforward fruit-forward one. At 21 years old and 58.7% ABV, it has plenty of stated heft, though the notes do not describe how that strength comes across. The SGD 1,006.05 sale-price reference puts it at a substantial price point, so the distinctive sherry-and-tobacco character is central to its appeal.

Rich fruit and dark chocolate make a warm starting point, while spice and tobacco give the sherry character a firmer edge. The long, fruity finish sounds appealing, though this seems like a fairly full style.

Richly sherried, with dark chocolate and a long, spicy finish.

The rich fruit and sherry character are balanced by dark chocolate, spice, leather and tobacco, so sweetness isn’t the only thing on offer. The long, spicy, tobacco-led finish gives it a weightier edge.

A 21-year-old Irish single pot still with richly sherried character.

The nose brings rich fruit and dark chocolate alongside spice, leather and tobacco, while the palate is described as mature, complex and richly sherried. The long finish is the strongest draw for me: its spicy, fruity, tobacco-led character gives the whisky a clear closing note. This sounds like a substantial, sherry-forward style, rather than a restrained one, and that focused finish helps make the character feel coherent.

58.7%, richly sherried and mature.
