Notes about Whiskey:
Full of aroma and flavour, Redbreast 12 Year Old benefits from a strong contribution from distillates which have matured in Oloroso sherry casks, giving it its trademark Christmas cake character.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A complex spicy and fruity aroma with toasted wood notes evident.
Taste: Full flavoured and complex; a harmonious balance of spicy, creamy, fruity, sherry and toasted notes.
Finish: Satisfyingly long, the complex flavours linger on the palate.

“Fabulous nose that is light and spicy with zesty apple, cooked apricot, and honey. Carrying onto the palate with delicate balance of spice and sweetness that is complex, smooth, and delicious. The warm finish lingers beautifully.”
Best Irish Pot Still (12 Yrs & Under) – World Whiskies Awards 2023
“Toasted nuts, light vanilla, nutmeg and mango kick off the nose, before a green mossiness comes through on the palate alongside nutmeg, brown sugar, blackberries and raw ginger. The finish is long and surprisingly herbal.”
Platinum – Ascot Awards 2023
“Beautiful bouquet on the palate with a viscous mouthfeel, with flavors like cocoa powder dusted over fruit. I could drink this all day.”
95 Points, Top 100 Of 2023 – Wine Enthusiast
“Sip solo or mix a first-rate toddy with this classic. Baked ap ple and pear notes mingle with caramel and a light sprinkle of baking spice, leading into a long but bright finish. The flavor stands up well to dilution, making it a favorite for cocktails.”
96 Pts, Finalist, Great Value – Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021
“A master course in elegance, this traditional pot still whiskey invites with aromas of dried orchard fruit and toasted cereals. The palate is juicy with big flavors of fresh pear and a creamy texture that finishes with a wallop of vanilla.”
Double Gold – SF World Spirits Competition 2021
96 Points, Value Pick – Whisky Advocate
“Very elegant, complex, and stylish. Honeyed and silky in texture, with toffee, toasted marshmallow, nougat, maple syrup, banana bread, and a hint of toasted coconut. Bright fruit and golden raisin blend in nicely with the layers of sweetness. Impeccable balance and very approachable. Classic Irish whiskey!”
