Redbreast | 12 Years Old

Single pot still is the style Ireland invented, made from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills. Redbreast is its definitive expression, distilled at Midleton and matured in a combination of American oak ex bourbon barrels and Spanish oak butts seasoned with Oloroso sherry. The name dates to 1939, when it was the pot still whiskey Jameson supplied to Dublin whiskey bonders.

Tasting Notes

Burnished gold. A complex spicy and fruity nose with clear toasted wood, nutty and faintly oily, carrying dried peels, ginger, linseed and cut fruit with a touch of melon. Full flavoured on the palate and silky smooth, balancing spice, fruit, sherry and toast, with marzipan and dried fruit underneath. The finish is long and creamy, closing on custard and spice.
