Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper stills. Matured in a combination of Bourbon seasoned American Oak barrels and Oloroso Sherry seasoned Spanish oak butts, the Cask Strength expression gives a glimpse of Redbreast 12 in its natural, full-flavored taste.
Tasting notes
Shiny gold
Aromas of figs, dates and ripe bananas.
Rich, rounded and mellow with succulent exotic fruits, citrus and dried apricots followed by spices and a touch of oak.
Fantastically intense, spicy and fruity at the same time.
Redbreast remains the pioneer of the Irish single pot still. Based on malted and unmalted barley, their whiskies reveal an intriguing complexity. Distillation takes place in three different stills then the whiskey is aged in old sherry and bourbon casks. Today, Redbreast is made at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork (alongside other great Powers, Green Spot and Jameson whiskies). Redbreast represents the very finest in Irish whiskey.
