Intro/Heritage:
Imagine the soul of Ireland, undiluted. Redbreast 12 Cask Strength is the unfiltered voice of Midleton’s single pot still mastery, bold, unapologetic, and deeply expressive. It’s the kind of whiskey that doesn’t ask for your attention; it takes it, then holds it with stories of spice-laden oak and orchard fruit brilliance. This is Ireland turned up to eleven.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Intense, like cracking open a spice cabinet in a blooming orchard, clove, ginger, and overripe bananas swirling in honey and toasted oak.
Palate: Luscious, oily, and complex. Layers of sherry-soaked dried fruits, peppery heat, roasted nuts, and a hint of dark chocolate, all wrapped in a creamy pot still texture.
Finish: Deep and enduring. Spice lingers with whispers of sweet vanilla and tannic oak, a bold exit that invites the next sip.

Production Details:
Triple-distilled and matured in a blend of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, this expression is bottled straight from the cask, no water, no filters, just power and purity. It's the truest form of what makes Redbreast a legend: traditional Irish pot still whiskey, fearless and full-bodied.

Perfect For:
This is your fireside dram, a winter night companion for slow jazz, leather-bound journals, or deep conversations that go past midnight. It’s also the whiskey you break out to impress someone who thinks they’ve “tried it all.”

Expert Notes:
Frequently cited as one of the greatest whiskeys under €100 by critics worldwide, Redbreast 12 Cask Strength has won accolades from the likes of Whisky Advocate and Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. But awards aside, it’s the complexity and confidence in the glass that leaves a lasting impression.

Redbreast is one of the few remaining single pot still Irish whiskeys, a style unique to Ireland that uses both malted and unmalted barley in a copper pot still. It’s a throwback to whiskey’s golden age, preserved in glorious high proof.

Serving Suggestions:
Pour it neat first, then slowly add drops of water. Watch as tropical fruit and nutmeg bloom in the glass. Skip the ice, this one deserves the slow reveal.

Produced at the iconic Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Redbreast has been a champion of the single pot still style since the early 1900s. Known for their obsessive wood policy and masterful blending, the distillery has become synonymous with the pinnacle of Irish whiskey craft.
