Description
Redbreast 12 Years Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is one of the most important representatives of the traditional Irish art of whiskey and is recognised worldwide as the benchmark for this style. Made from a blend of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in copper pot stills, it epitomises the original Irish production method in its purest form. This special distillation process gives the whiskey its characteristic richness, depth and creamy texture, which clearly sets it apart from classic blended or single malt bottlings.
It is matured for 12 years in a carefully selected combination of bourbon and sherry casks, creating a harmonious interplay of spicy, fruity and lightly toasted flavours. The result is a full-bodied, complex Irish whiskey that will delight both beginners and experienced connoisseurs. The accompanying gift box (GB) emphasises the high standards of this bottling and makes it a valued classic within the premium segment of Irish whiskeys.

This single pot still whiskey harmonises perfectly with mild cheeses, roasted nuts, apple and pear desserts and dark chocolate. It unfolds its complex character particularly well in combination with Irish dishes such as soda bread or lighter meat dishes. Enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water, its aromatic structure opens up and reveals a long-lasting, warm flavour profile. It also provides a creamy, spicy depth of flavour in classic whiskey cocktails such as the Whiskey Sour or the Irish Manhattan.
