Redbreast has a rich tradition in Ireland of over 100 years. The single pot still Irish whiskey brand made by Irish Distillers has always showed a more refined, premium style of Irish Whiskey. Currently, they have six different bottlings: the 12 Year Old, 12 Cask Strength, 15 Year Old, 21 Year Old, Lustau Edition (matured for its final year in Bodegas Lustau sherry casks) and as of the pandemic, a 27 Year Old Edition as well. The grand daddy of them all.
The first Redbreast ever sold was the Redbreast J.J. Liqueur Whiskey 12 Year Old back in 1912. Since then it’s been the 12-year that has been the main driver of the brand so to speak. It’s objectively outstanding and is as flavorful, robust and smooth as you could want a Whiskey. This is probably the go-to on St. Patty’s Day.

These days, I find myself going for more Rye than ever before. Towards the very top of the list for me is the Rye that father & son Master Distillers, Jimmy and Eddie Russell have been cooking up at Wild Turkey. Together, those two have been at Wild Turkey in excess of 100 years. Like all of Wild Turkey’s rye whiskeys, it’s made from their single-rye mashbill. It’s a 6-year, 90 Proof Rye that just seems to go above and beyond some of the more simpler ones I’ve had. Kinda like a hybrid between a high Rye Bourbon and a traditional Rye. It has a bold expression of caramel, vanilla, lemon zest and black pepper and is very smooth and well built. A great lingering spice on the finish.
This is obviously something very rare and very special. In fact, I only have one bottle and even that took some convincing. It’s worth it to a lucky collector though. This single malt is matured exclusively for twenty-five years in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. Laying undisturbed in the same casks for so long transforms this into a silky, luxurious single malt whisky characterized by its rich flavors of vanilla, dried fruits and ginger spice with a long finish and rich mahogany color.
In terms of rare and unique bottles go, this Japanese Whisky is up there with anything in the spirits world. It’s a blended whisky finished in Sakura (cherry blossom) casks and Hibiki® 30 Year Old, a rare annual release that retails for $5000/btl. Hibiki is a gorgeous blend of ten various malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. It’s super aptly named as all of these flavors and smells mesh together beautifully, with no shortage of flavors and aroma.

Joseph Magnus is a big time name in the whiskey world. Bourbon people go nuts for it. For my money, the Murray Hill Club Bourbon is the most interesting one in the lot, a skillful blend that marries 18 and 11-year-old bourbon with 9-year-old light whiskey. It boasts rich notes of toasted oak, vanilla, butterscotch, honey and toffee with dried fruits, nutmeg and a peppery, spicy finish. This one was bottled at 103 Proof. Just a handful of bottles are up for grabs.
