What it’s like

The benchmark of Irish pot still, a style unique to Ireland that mixes malted and unmalted barley in the same distillation, giving an oily texture and a spicy touch. Redbreast 12 matures in oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, according to the brand, and is rich and indulgent: dried fruit, toffee, spice, nuts and a creamy background. It is an essential reference for understanding the most classic Irish whiskey.

Nose
Dried fruit, toffee and spice, with nuts and a touch of sherry.
Palate
Oily and rich. Raisins, caramel, soft pepper and a creamy texture.
Finish
Long, warm and spicy, with hints of dried fruit and walnut.
