Tasting notes
Hints of dates, vanilla,oak and barley.
Round with intense notes of dried fruits, citrus and spices.
Long and rich with a sweet butterscotch finale.
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.
