Redbreast 12 year old Cask Strength

Produced at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength is a Single Pot Still Irish whiskey crafted from a mash bill of malted and unmalted barley, fermented with soft water drawn from the Dungourney River. Following triple distillation in copper pot stills, the spirit is matured exclusively in American oak bourbon barrels and Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts, each selected for their aromatic contribution and seasoning quality. Entirely matured in first-fill casks and bottled at natural strength, this expression delivers the most unaltered representation of the Redbreast profile. The nose reveals layered aromas of soft spice, stewed fruits and toasted wood. On the palate, a silky texture supports a full-bodied structure, combining vibrant spice, fruity depth and the tannic richness imparted by sherry wood. The finish is long and lingering, showcasing the complexity of this non-chill filtered whiskey at cask strength. As a benchmark of the Single Pot Still style, Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength exemplifies the traditional Irish method preserved since the 19th century, defined by extended fermentations, triple distillation and a meticulous maturation regime.
