Redbreast 12 Year Old — Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 750ml

Redbreast is the definitive expression of Irish single pot still whiskey — a style unique to Ireland, made from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills. Produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork and matured for a minimum of 12 years in a combination of ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, Redbreast 12 is the whiskey that put Irish pot still whiskey back on the world map. It is consistently rated among the finest Irish whiskeys ever made, and for good reason: there is simply nothing else quite like it.

The nose is complex and inviting: a rich interplay of spice, dried fruit, toasted wood, and a generous sherry influence that speaks to the quality of the cask selection. On the palate, it is full-flavored and silky smooth — a harmonious balance of spicy, fruity, sherry, and toasted notes that unfold with remarkable depth and elegance. The finish is satisfyingly long, with the complex flavors lingering on the palate long after the last sip. This is a whiskey to savor slowly, neat or with a single drop of water to open it up.

Midleton Meets Málaga

The 5th installment in the famed Redbreast Iberian Series sees Master Blender David McCabe travel to the sun-drenched hills of Málaga, Spain, to source Moscatel wine casks for finishing Redbreast’s signature Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Spanish Moscatel is celebrated for its floral aromas and notes of pineapple, peach, and honey — characteristics that weave beautifully into Redbreast’s rich pot still character.

The Moscatel wine is aged in American Oak for 24 months before the casks are emptied and transferred to Midleton Distillery, where Redbreast’s Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey has been maturing in these casks since June 2024.

About the Iberian Series

Redbreast’s Iberian Series celebrates Gilbey’s storied history of importing fortified wines and sherry from the Iberian Peninsula since the late 1800s. Master Blender David McCabe has traveled from the bodegas of Spain to the quintas of Portugal to explore and expand the sherried flavors that define Redbreast — combining Ireland’s traditional Single Pot Still process with the tastes and aromas of the Mediterranean.
