About Redbreast 12Yr Cask Strength
Redbreast 12Yr Cask Strength is a premium Irish single pot still whiskey from Midleton Distillery, produced by Pernod Ricard USA, bottled at a robust 57.5% ABV (115 proof) in 750ml sizes for $81.24. Crafted from malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills, and matured 12 years in ex-bourbon American oak and Oloroso sherry Spanish oak butts, it delivers the full, unfiltered intensity of pot still character without chill filtration. What makes it special is its cask strength potency, offering explosive flavors of exotic fruits, spices, creamy vanilla, toasted oak, and sherry sweetness in a rich, velvety texture—far more vivid than the standard 40% version. Ideal for whiskey enthusiasts seeking bold, complex Irish whiskey neat or with a splash of water, it's approachable despite high proof yet rewards seasoned palates. In its category, it outshines milder Irish blends with superior depth and value, often hailed as one of the best entry-to-premium pot still expressions, competing favorably with sherry-matured Scotch at a competitive price.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Succulent exotic fruits mingle with citrus, dried apricot, sultana, and assorted spices alongside toasted wood and vanilla. Notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, oak, caramel fudge, sweet mandarins, red apples, berries, milk chocolate, and honey emerge vividly. Sharp wood, malt, and nutty grain add layers of complexity.
👅 Palate
Rich and mellow with luscious fruits, spices, vanilla sweetness, and oak, delivered in a creamy, thick, buttery mouthfeel. Explosive flavors of whipped cream, citrus, lemon shortbread, marzipan, ripe fruits, honey, cinnamon, black pepper, and tobacco create a gripping, juicy intensity. The high proof brings balanced heat without overwhelming.
✨ Finish
Satisfyingly long, blending fruit, spices, toasted oak, barley, creme brulee, and lingering peppery spice. Buttery, malty grain and subtle nuttiness persist beautifully.
