Redbreast has been one of the success stories for Irish Distillers. Originally a brand of Jameson owned by wine and spirit importer Gilbeys, it has always had an affinity with sherry, possibly because it was first matured in used oloroso casks by Gilbeys. More recently, the limited edition Mano a Lámh was matured exclusively in sherry casks, while the Redbreast Lustau was finished or spent its final year in a sherry cask.
