Tasting Notes
Full of aroma and flavor, 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. A complex spicy and fruity aroma with toasted wood notes evident. Full-flavored and complex; a harmonious balance of spicy, creamy, fruity, sherry and toasted notes. Satisfyingly long finish, the complex flavors linger on the palate.

Expert Reviews
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of sticky buns, peach pastry, chocolate coated toffee, crystalized ginger, cherry stone, pineapple cordial, and celery seed with a round, vibrant, fruity fat body and a nuanced, very long dark chocolate with crystallized violet petals, peanut butter caramel filled pretzel sandwich, orange peel, and coriander finish. A mouthwatering Irish Single Pot Still whiskey that will be difficult to drink in moderation.
