A well-balanced single pot still Irish whiskey, Redbreast 12 Year Old has been matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, creating a sweet-and-spicy character. The nose holds aromas of sweet fruit, toasted oak and warm spices, and the palate offers notes of buttery hot-cross-buns, dried fruits, baking spices and spicy oak.

Tasting Notes by Michael Jackson
-
Nose
Clean, fresh. Hint of linseed. Nuts. Cake.
-
Palate
By far the biggest of this selection. Assertive and complex, with lots of development and seemingly infinite dimension. Ginger cake, brazil nuts, treacle.
-
Finish
Liquorice-like sherry notes.
-
Comment
Delicious, soothing, contemplative. A great whiskey. Makes me want to get on a plane to Dublin immediately.

Tasting Notes by Jim Murray

Nose
With Green Spot, the most impressive of Irish noses. There's a fruity, almost rye-like quality, and deft, honeyed sweetness, a touch of sherry, cream soda vanilla and some peppery notes. Breathtaking.
-
Palate
The flavours take off in all directions. Spiciness and a pot still backbone softened by sherry. Very firm with some toffee.
-
Finish
Oily, some liquorice and enormous sweet-sour complexity. Spicy and long.
-
Comment
Not quite perfect, but still an astonishing experience.

Tasting Notes by Peter Mulryan
-
Nose
The very Irish nose tweak of resin, sherry and linseed.
-
Palate
Fat and oily. Layers of satin ginger, silk honey and hints of spicy liquorice.
-
Finish
Vanilla pods and marsala.
-
Comment
This is what real pure pot still whiskey is all about, a glorious contradiction of soft fruit and firm grain, oily seeds and sweet wood. World beating stuff.

Tasting Notes by Dave Broom
-
Nose
Intense and full blooded. Pot still richness: citrus oils, hot sealing wax, leather, tobacco, tea, maraschino, overripe fruits, marzipan. Exemplary.
-
Palate
Ridiculously big. Oozes into the mouth and erupts. Spices galore to the finish. Oily and unctuous.
-
Finish
Long, rich, oily.
-
Comment
Whiskey covering the entire spectrum of aroma, taste, feel, flavour. World class.

You ever found a whisky thst made you go from ”I like whisky” to ”I love whisky” Chances are Redbreast 12 is s part of that conversion. Nose is magnificent with notes of Vanilla, biscottis and carameled fruits Taste Well umalted 12y old barely truly is a underrated journey it is just making the vanilla all the smoother. I would caramel, canned pears, sugered short bread and anis But the after taste. Of the cask really has a aftermath of the smooths whipped cream vanilla lingering long after you drinked it. Truly one if the best Whisk(e)ys EVER made!

Absolutely fantastic. The nose reminds me of sweet alcoholic Battenberg cake. The taste is so unbelievably smooth it genuinely shocked me. The after taste is a little bit like melted wax which is bizarre but not at all unpleasant. Favourite whiskey so far. I will be buying plenty more.
