Redbreast 12 Year Old Barrel Proof Irish Whiskey 115 Proof

Redbreast 12 Year Old Barrel Proof Irish Whiskey 115 Proof is Midleton single pot still bottled straight from the cask: twelve years in bourbon-seasoned American oak and Oloroso sherry-seasoned Spanish oak, then filled at 115 proof with no water and no chill filtration, so dried fruit, sherry, and pot-still spice land at full strength. Malted and unmalted barley, triple-distilled in copper pots, give the creamy weight that holds that proof. Pour it over a large cube.

Exotic fruit and citrus open onto dried apricot and sultana, with toasted wood and baking spice. The sip is rich, rounded, and mellow — luscious fruit, vanilla, and a nutty sherry undertone through an oily mouthfeel. Fruit and spice fade slowly into toasted oak and barley on a long, warming finish.
