Tasting Notes

Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey is the flagship expression of the Redbreast range, matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks. The nose opens with aromas of dried fruit, honey, and toasted nuts accented by vanilla, spice, and oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, offering flavors of toffee, raisins, citrus peel, and roasted nuts balanced by baking spice, cocoa, and sweet malt. The pot still character adds both creaminess and spice, giving the whiskey depth and complexity. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of sherry, oak, and caramel.
