Redbreast 12 Years 0.7 L - Irish Single Pot Still

As a whiskey lover, you surely know that the popular spirit originally comes from Ireland. According to tradition, monks are said to have brought the recipe for making distilled malt brew from Ireland to Scotland. But what exactly is the difference between both countries and their whiskeys?
First of all, they have a different taste. While Irish whiskey is mild and smooth, the Scottish drop can be more robust. The other difference lies in the spelling. In Irish whiskey, the letter 'e' has found its way into the word. A good Irish drop is the Redbreast 12. A wonderful Irish Single Pot Still.

Aromatic Spice with Lemon Oil Notes

It's important to mention that the Redbreast brand is not an independent distillery, but was acquired by Irish Distillers Ltd. However, this fact does not change its exceptional taste. Since the malted barley is not dried over peat fire during production, it is a mild, aromatic, and peat-free drink. Irish whiskeys come in three types: Single Malt, Blended, and Pure Pot Stills. The Redbreast 12 is of the latter type, although the name has been changed to Single Pot Stills. The whiskey has matured for 12 years in Bourbon and Oloroso casks and is known worldwide!

Tasting 2
Nose: The scent of the whiskey is intense and strong. It smells of lemon oil, hot sealing wax, leather, and tea. In some places, notes of cherry-like maraschino, overripe fruits, and even marzip are discernible.
Palate: The taste is very grand. The Redbreast 12 seeps into the mouth, only to then explode. It also tastes oily, fatty, and enormously spicy towards the end.
Finish: The finish is long and rich. The oiliness persists. Tasting Notes from Dave Broom, Whisky Magazine
