Redbreast 12 years single pot still 750 ml

Redbreast 12 Year Old is Ireland's best-known single pot still whiskey, distilled at Midleton in County Cork from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple-distilled in traditional copper pot stills. It matures for a minimum of 12 years in a mix of first-fill bourbon and oloroso sherry butts, the combination that gives single pot still whiskey its signature spice and creaminess. Expect toasted oak and dried fruit on the nose, a rich, oily palate of baked apple, ginger, and sherry sweetness, and a long, spicy finish. It's widely considered one of the best value entry points into Irish whiskey's most distinctive style.

How to drink Redbreast 12 Year Old

Neat is the classic way to meet this one — the spice and sherry sweetness carry well without dilution. It also makes an excellent Irish Whiskey Sour if you want to see the spice hold up against citrus.
