Few Irish whiskeys are more beloved and iconic than Redbreast. Through the tumultuous 20th century, the brand was able to endure the many ups and downs of the industry, all while maintaining the traditional production practices that make Irish whiskey unique. To help better understand this quintessential Irish whiskey’s place in history, here are seven things you need to know about Redbreast. Redbreast has been around for over a century. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. The first thing I smell coming off the glass is dried fruit — specifically dried strawberries, bananas, and peaches. But underneath all that, there’s also a good malty base that’s reminding me of a fresh scone and some cinnamon spice. Mmmm, I tell ya, that Single Pot Still character stirs something in me every time I smell it. Rich, sweet and a little oily that wonderful character is accompanied by notes of fruit, vanilla, nuts, spice, citrus and some light sweet, almost floral, notes that drift through on the tail. After suffering from political and economic turmoil, the whiskey took a hiatus from 1985-1991, when it was given a revamp with a new distiller and the addition of the highest quality sherry and bourbon casks. In recent years, the distiller has released other Redbreast whiskeys, including the Redbreast Cask Strength, Redbreast 21, and other limited edition releases.

Whisky reviews for Redbreast 12-year-old

Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. Warm rich pot still malty goodness followed by notes of fruit, honey, vanilla, spice and citrus with a nutty undertone that ties everything together. I love the flavor of this whiskey almost as much as the aroma. Here's a case in point. From Irish Distillers Ltd, Redbreast is a 'Single' unblended, pure pot still Irish whiskey made with malted and unmalted barley which has been triple distilled. Our tasting found powerful, sensuous aromatics, at first reminiscent of creaming soda then vanilla wafer and sweet cereals enter giving this a Bourbon slant. The entry is soft and light. Mid palate turns deliciously creamy with semi-sweet, toasty cereals and brandy cream sauce flavours superbly counterpointed by spicy, drying oak. Finishes crisp and dry with terrific length as the vanilla wafer biscuit again emerges followed by a late creme-caramel fade. An Irish with soul and distinctive style, this also offers a mouthfeel that’s uncommon. Its lightness of body combined with depth of flavour make for a terrific aperitif.40% Alc./Vol.

From there, the mixture is pumped into a copper pot still where it is distilled three times. Then the newly made whiskey is placed into a combination of American bourbon barrels and previously used sherry casks to mature for a period of at least 12 years.Redbreast is distilled at the Midleton Distillery using copper pot stills and aged in Oloroso sherry casks. Home to several other single pot still Irish whiskeys, Midleton Distillery also produces Jameson and Tullamore Dew. Compared to either of those whiskeys, Redbreast 12 year is smoother but also more complex. Its sweetness is subtler, though still present. Its finish is smoother and lingers longer.

Originally a purveyor of gin within England, by 1861 the company had opened a branch in Dublin to expand their operations. To cater to the local tastes, they began blending and selling their own version of Irish whiskey which was sourced from the Jameson distillery and aged in their own proprietary method. The label itself is downright boring. A faux aged piece of paper with a red breasted bird on the front, and a bunch of brand information in far too large a font.

Probably the softest Redbreast delivery of all time... a Cadbury's chocolate and fruit and nut finale with grain being surprisingly reticent; lots of toffee and vanilla late on. One of the most docile and pacific Redbreasts I've encountered in the last 30-odd years. Lovely, though. Yum I love Redbreast 12, but that’s also because I love Single Pot Still Irish whiskey. The warm coppery malty flavor and aroma does something for me, it hits me just right. If you’re a fan of Irish whiskey, or just whiskey in general, do yourself a favor and at least try this at some point. I think you’ll be happy that you did.

This is the world's best whisky! Drinkstrade.com.au have reported that Redbreast 12 Year Old has won the World Whisky Trophy at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2019. The competition awarded Redbreast 12 an impressive 98 points, narrowly beating world whisky competitors from Australia, South Africa, Denmark, India, Taiwan and Switzerland, among many others. The name “Redbreast” comes from the European Robin (known as Robin Redbreast), a bird that is native to Ireland and is known for its distinctive red-orange plumage. The chairman of Gilbey’s around the early 1900s was an avid amateur ornithologist and decided that the bird would make a perfect symbol for the whiskey. Redbreast is a uniquely Irish whiskey.

In both aroma and flavor, ice tends to be very detrimental to fruity and light spirits like this one… and in this case a lot of the lighter flavors are in fact gone. The dried peach and malty scone flavors are holding up pretty well, but the baking spices seem to have run for the exit. I’m still pretty impressed that the fruit is persisting, though, so credit where credit is due.
