Redbreast cask strength is very limited and is the result of malted and unmalted barley which has been tripled distilled in copper pot stills from the Midleton distillery.
It displays the the characteristic full and complex flaours of the original 12 year old Pot still whiskey, but with distinctive influence from maruration on sherry casks.
This expression shows Redbreats in it most natural full flavoured state.
Nose: Rich, biscuity aromas. Dark roasted spices with a touch of mocha, nicely freshened up with some apple and delicious tropical-fruit notes.
Palate: Stewed apples and cinnamon, then the toasty oak kicks in along with apple, pear and some coffee. Add a touch of water and this whisky really opens up.
Finish: Spice and fruit battle it out for some time but overall, a fantastic malt.
