Redbreast 12 Year Cask Strength
116.4 proof
12 years
Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Midleton Distillery
Nose
Rich peach and oak character with a bold presence befitting the cask strength proof.
Palate
Surprisingly smooth with no heat. Super sweet on the front end—like sucking on hard candy with fruity citrus, apricot, and dried fruit notes. Full, oily, viscous mouthfeel that coats the mouth.
Finish
Subtle spice on the back end with a creamy, lingering character.
Overall Score
4.3 / 5
An impressively smooth and complex cask strength single pot still that balances surprising sweetness with underlying spice and a luxurious mouthfeel.
