Redbreast 12-Year Cask Strength Single Pot Irish Whiskey

Redbreast is an iconic Irish distillery known for making some of the best Whiskey in the entire country. Their 12-Year is probably their most notable for a few reasons. One: it’s still available for a great price, and the other is that it’s flat-out delicious. There’s a reason this has a hundred accolades attached to it over the year.  The 12-Year Cask Strength is the way more rare version of the popular 12-year, and this one is dialed up to 11 –  a pure and unadulterated version. It’s so friggin’ good. Made in a combination of Oloroso Sherry Casks and Bourbon Barrels, the 12-Year Cask Strength is textbook single pot Whiskey made at a higher percentage than most Irish whiskeys you’ll find on the market.

Nose: Succulent exotic fruit with a little citrus, complementing deeper notes of dried apricot and sultana. Infusion of assorted spices and toasted wood.

Taste: Rich, fully rounded and mellow with luscious fruit and spices. Sweetness of vanilla and a touch of oak.

Finish: Satisfyingly long with the sophisticated combination of fruit and spices slowly giving way to toasted oak, then barley.
