Redbreast 15yr bottle reference image

Appearance / Color

Golden honey

Nose / Aroma / Smell

Toffee, vanilla, berries, cherries and aromatic oils. Some cinnamon and ginger if you water it down.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

Oily mouthfeel, maple syrup sweetness with more red fruits, spices, toasted wood and rich oak tannins towards the end.

Finish

Spicy, crisp, and tannic with lingering notes of unsweetened chocolate, oak and malty notes.

Produced in The Midleton distilleries situated in Midleton, Cork County, this is a "pure pot still" Whiskey or "single pot still" as it's now officially known. It is made in a different way than single malt because the mash is made from both malted and un-malted "green" barley. The enzymes in the malted barley stimulate the production of malt in the un-malted barley. Also, single malt Whiskeys are generally distilled twice, whereas single pot still Whiskeys are generally distilled three times. Redbreast is one of the few single pot still Whiskeys produced today and is the only one with an age statement. 15 Year Old is matured in a combination of American Bourbon Whiskey barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks. Dec 20, 2021 Spicy, crisp, and tannic with lingering notes of unsweetened chocolate, oak and malty notes.
