Hi there drammers! I know I’m publishing this a bit late but hey, I also sometimes have a life \ud83d\ude42 [And this week was just one of those super-busy weeks, travelling to 3 different countries in 5 days… Which – don’t get me wrong<\/em> – I love, but can really be exhausting. I’m kidding, I actually just spent the last couple of hours watching stupid YouTube videos and procrastinating on my blogging duties \ud83d\ude09 ]<\/em><\/p>\n Anyway, it’s still the beginning of October so it’s still time for my monthly whisky wishlist,<\/strong> yay, put your hands up in the air! \\o\/<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Redbreast Lustau<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The newest addition to the Redbreast family, Redbreast Sherry Finish Lustau Edition offers fans a new way to experience our signature sherry taste, thanks to an old friendship. Born of a unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton Distillery, Redbreast Sherry Finish Lustau Edition is initially matured in traditional bourbon and sherry casks for a period of 9-12 years. It is then finished for 1 additional year in first fill hand selected sherry butts that have been seasoned with the finestloroso sherry from the prestigious Bodegas Lustau in Jerez. We are confident Redbreast fans will enjoy this new angle on Redbreast’s beloved sherry character.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jura – One For The Road<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released in celebration of Distillery Manager, Willie Cochrane\u2019s 39 year contribution to the distillery, Jura One for the Road is a limited edition 22 year old expression with a Pinot Noir wine cask finish.
