News: Redbreast marks the end of an era with the Dream Cask Zenith Edition [Whiskey Magazine]
“When Irish Distillers' master blender Dave McCabe stood in a warehouse at Midleton Distillery in County Cork back in May 2017, while getting ready to do a Facebook livestream for World Whisky Day alongside his esteemed colleague Billy Leighton, he had no idea that the afternoon’s live tasting would lead to a much-lauded series of whiskeys: the Redbreast Dream Cask Collection.
“As we sampled the whiskey, we said: ‘Maybe it’s something we could bottle for the future’,” recalls McCabe. “And that snowball turned into an avalanche!” After the event, requests came in thick and fast to release the one-off whiskey and begin a series of venerably aged single-cask bottlings. By 2018, the Redbreast Dream Cask Collection had been born.”
