Siendo un buen whiskey es una pena que por su bajo ABV las notas no se muestren con nitidez y por ese mismo bajo ABV el viaje en boca se siente aguado y difuso. Tengo ganas de probar su versión cask strength

At first, I didn't love this whiskey. I felt like it was actually too smooth (by far the smoothest whiskey I've ever tasted). But it quickly grew on me as I discovered its depth. A really really good Irish whiskey.

Honestly. This reminded me exactly of Buffalo Trace… a whisky almost 1/3rd of the price!

Nowhere near as impressive as the reviews or hype made me think it would be and in this presentation it’s entirely not worth the price.

Where it scores higher that BT is in it’s spicy richness which almost makes you think it’s closer to 48% or more ABV

The cask strength bottling must be amazing though as while this whisky is not good value I still enjoy Buffalo Trace so I wouldn’t mind trying a better presentation of this whisky in future

Ireland in the bottle. Perfect nose, taste and finish. Fruitiness /especially red berries/, lot of vanilla, oiliness, touch of caramel and chocolate, sweetness, pleasant spiciness - typical for that kind of whiskey - irish single pot still, cinnamon, nuttiness and toasted oak. Sherry notes /sultanas/ and dried plums on the background. Full body and complex whiskey, excellently balanced. Full mouth of taste. Very good quality for that price. For me, the best 40% ABV whisk(e)y in the world. LOVE IT!

40% Abv. 80 proof, 12 year old Irish Whiskey, distilled in a single pot still. The Irish take real pride in their Whiskey and for good reason. Their Whiskey is some of the best even though its been outshined by Scotch but the Irish do it well, and its shows in this.

This whiskey is great, it shows what Irish Whiskey is with superb quality. Very little can compete with this in its price range. A nice strong flavor of traditional Irish Whiskey, and those Bourbon characteristics show.

Im putting this as a 82/100, up .5 for value, this being only in the $60 price range. Great Whiskey, I'd love to try the cask strength.

Nose

So First, is those traditional floral and toffee notes with some berry (strawberries.) Then, some vanilla and caramel with some honey. Lastly, some brown sugar, espresso, and milk chocolate

Palate

Immediately, floral with some honey and vanilla. Then some small hints of milk chocolate with toffee, berry, nuget and some nuttiness.

Finish

Finishing with some brown sugar and berry with honey and vanilla.

Sweet, vanilla, and a bit fruity on the nose. first sip was soft and creamy feeling with some vanilla, honey, and lots of malt. after taking another sip, the spice starts to build and warmth starts building. Start tasting notes of citrus and biscuits. The warmth and spice lingers for a short time. Very easy drinker and enjoyable enough.

This is supposed to be the benchmark for Irish whiskeys. I enjoyed it, can recommend, although I’d be curious for the cask strength version. See full review below.

Alcoholic note, which is surprising since it’s just 40% abv. Caramel, hint of vanilla, green apples, sweet.

Palate

Smooth, butterscotch at the front of my tongue, the typical Irish whiskey feeling.

Surprisingly complex, this pot still irish whiskey does not disappoint. Very sweet and fruity, with noticeable sherry and honey aromas, some mint, the perfect ammount of spice and grass in the very end. It is both gentle and complex.

Very gentle, subtle oak and sherry, with a light mint aroma completing the fragrance.

Palate

Very sweet and spicy, obvious honey with a lot of fruity notes, mostly sherry.

Finish

Spicy, with honey and sherry that gradually transform into a grassy taste. It feels like a continuation of the palate, with an earthy, grassy conclusion.

A very nice single pot Irish whisky. The nose was almost better than the taste. Mild/smooth for a 12y whisky. Though I'm not a fan of Irish whisky I found it some whst pleasant.

Ein fantastischer Whisky. Zurückhaltender Sherry in der Nase; jede Menge Frucht. Bei mir bilden sich sofort Assoziationen zu grünem Apfel, Limette, Grapefruit, junger Birne, aber auch süßem Obst wie Mango und Anklängen an Aprikose. Auch macht sich eine leichte Würze des Pot Still Charakters unmittelbar bemerkbar. Geschmacklich stellt sich eine schöne Frucht und Süße ein, die sehr bald von pfeffriger Würze abgelöst wird.
Bei diesem Redbreast gibt es einiges zu entdecken.

Very surprised by this Redbreast 12.
It's a pot still, triple distilled and bottled at 40% Abv.
The nose is a harmonic ensemble of sherry, fruit, cream, vanilla and roasted nuts with gentle alcohol.
The taste starts of soft, even watery, but alcohol and spice slowly built op to an explosion of peppery spice.
But that's balanced with sweet fruit and caramel.
The long firm spicy finish also is a complex mixture of all the things mentioned above.
Advisable for lovers of sweet complex and bold flavours.

Score 84.
