Redbreast 12 Year Old – Classic Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey
The Redbreast 12 Year Old is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of traditional Irish Single Pot Still whiskey. It is produced at the renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland.
Single Pot Still whiskey is made from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley, distilled in traditional copper pot stills. This method creates the distinctive creamy texture and spicy character that defines the Redbreast style.
Matured in Bourbon and Sherry Casks
The whiskey is aged for at least twelve years in a combination of American oak bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. This maturation gives the whiskey its complex balance of fruit, sweetness and spice.
Aroma and Taste
On the nose, the Redbreast 12 reveals aromas of dried fruits, raisins and figs, complemented by vanilla, honey and toasted nuts. The palate is rich and full-bodied with notes of sherry sweetness, spice, malt and caramel. The finish is long, warm and gently spicy.
A Benchmark for Irish Pot Still Whiskey
