REDBREAST 12Y Single Pot Still 70cl

Dive into the heart of Irish heritage with Redbreast 12 Year Old, the proud heir to an ancestral tradition maintained in Midleton. The Single Pot Still style embodies the very soul of Irish whiskey: crafted from an exclusive blend of malted and unmalted barley, triple-distilled in traditional copper pot stills, it offers an aroma profile and velvety texture that are simply incomparable.

You aren't just tasting a spirit; you are experiencing a true craft legacy in your glass. The secret to its depth lies in its patient maturation. Redbreast 12 Year Old undergoes at least 12 years of aging within a dual cask selection: American oak casks previously used for bourbon and Spanish oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry.

To achieve its signature balance, the aging process combines roughly two-thirds bourbon casks (bringing vanilla roundness and sweet oak tones) with one-third Oloroso sherry casks (imparting gorgeous notes of dried fruits, warm spices, and a rich amber hue). The harmonious dialogue between the noble wood and the distillate creates a genuine sensory symphony.

True to its profile, Redbreast 12 Year Old is not peated; its flavor profile relies entirely on the pure, fruit-forward expression of the grain, elevated by the richness of sherry seasoning. On the palate, it feels like a velvety caress—an explosion of flavors that warms both heart and mind. Whether you are an experienced aficionado looking for a reliable masterpiece or an explorer eager to discover Irish excellence, this whiskey is an absolute must-have.
