Product Description

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

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 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.

Anonymous,
Scotch whisky is full of flavour but can be over-powering. Irish Midleton and Redbreast provide a much more refined experience. Redbreast 12yo is no Midleton, but at around a quarter of the price (of Midleton very rare), it is undoubtably the best ‘bang for the buck’ that’s out there for Irish whiskey. Pour a generous glass and savour the aroma as you sip - heaven!

Rakesh,
Redbreast 12 is amazing. its got all great flavours. The nose is beautiful, it’s smooth to drink and full of magnificent fruity, nutty, honey and cakey flavours. It really is as good as non-peated whisky. Great to have with friends.

Benji,
Redbreast 12 is all kinds of delicious! The nose is beautiful, it’s smooth to drink and full of magnificent fruity, nutty, honey and cakey flavours. It really is as good as non-peated whisky gets.
