Redbreast 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Rated 93 in Jim Murrays Whisky Bible

Redbreast 12 Year Old is the quintessential expression of traditional Irish pot still whiskey—a style celebrated for its full-bodied, creamy texture and layers of spice. Distilled at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, this beloved dram is made from a mash bill of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills, and matured in a combination of bourbon-seasoned American oak and Oloroso sherry casks.

The result is a whiskey with exceptional balance and complexity. On the nose, it offers rich aromas of dried fruit, toasted nuts, fresh orchard apples, and a touch of sherry sweetness. The palate is equally inviting—silky smooth, with flavours of Christmas cake, vanilla, baking spice, and a hint of roasted coffee. The sherry influence shines through with elegance, rounding off the finish with warmth and a lingering touch of nuttiness.

Redbreast 12 has become a flagship for Irish whiskey lovers around the world, earning countless accolades including multiple gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It’s a whiskey that rewards contemplation, yet remains approachable enough for everyday sipping. For those who appreciate craftsmanship and heritage, Redbreast 12 is a must-have on the shelf—an Irish icon with timeless charm.
