Redbreast 12 yr Single Pot Still Whiskey 750ml

Redbreast 12 Year Old establishes the benchmark for Irish single pot still whiskey by fermenting a mash of both malted and unmalted barley, then maturing the resulting spirit for a minimum of twelve years across bourbon barrels, oloroso sherry puncheons, and wine casks.

This midland production method routes the new make wash through three separate copper pot stills before the extended wood aging begins. The prolonged multi-barrel rest allows lignin-derived vanillin and grape-derived sugars to integrate seamlessly while preserving the distinctive peppery spine that separates pot still whiskey from standard blended or bourbon expressions. Opening the 750ml bottle reveals layered aromas of dried fruit, fresh orange peel, and subtle smoke. The 40% alcohol by volume carries a full-bodied palate where toasted hazelnut, rich sherried sweetness, and steady grain warmth maintain precise equilibrium. A clean, mildly tannic finish clears rapidly without heavy glycerol density.

The measured strength pours smoothly when served neat and readily unlocks additional aromatic layers with a small splash of room-temperature water. Because it complies fully with Irish whiskey regulatory standards for grain composition and aging duration, each bottle delivers predictable batch-to-batch consistency whether enjoyed straight or stirred into complex whiskey cocktails. Maintain shelf stability by storing the bottle upright at room temperature and resealing tightly after every pour.
