Redbreast is a very special whiskey within the Irish Distillers fortified as it's the only 12 year old Pure Pot Still available.
It was first launched in 1939 as the brand name given to the pot still whiskey supplied by Jameson to whiskey bonders before bottling at the distillery became the norm in 1968. Stocks of whiskey in bonders' stores petered out, & thus Redbreast all but disappeared until its re-launch by the distillery in the 1990s as a single pot still whiskey.
This pure pot still whiskey is matured for a minimum of 12 years in sherry casks & Bourbon barrels. Like all good pot still whiskeys, it is strongly flavoured & assertive, making it a rare treat for the connoisseur of fine old whiskey.
Redbreast 12 Year Old was awarded the overall trophy for the second consecutive year in the International Wine & Spirits competition. Also Winner of Double Gold at the 2005 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
As all premium whiskeys can be consumed neat, but for a better tasting the recommendation from our Master Blender is to add a drop of water to dilute the alcohol & so release the intense flavours of this unique Pot Still Whiskey. ...
A careful balance of first fill & refill casks accentuates the assorted spices within Redbreasts characteristic full & complex flavour, amplified through additional maturation. ...
