Probably the softest Redbreast delivery of all time... a Cadbury's chocolate and fruit and nut finale with grain being surprisingly reticent; lots of toffee and vanilla late on. One of the most docile and pacific Redbreasts I've encountered in the last 30-odd years. Lovely, though. Few Irish whiskeys are more beloved and iconic than Redbreast. Through the tumultuous 20th century, the brand was able to endure the many ups and downs of the industry, all while maintaining the traditional production practices that make Irish whiskey unique. To help better understand this quintessential Irish whiskey’s place in history, here are seven things you need to know about Redbreast. Redbreast has been around for over a century.

I’m also getting something in here like… stale honey? I don’t think honey can actually go stale, but if it were, that’s what I’m getting. It’s like a muted sweet note with some floral aspects, and I don’t hate it. In both aroma and flavor, ice tends to be very detrimental to fruity and light spirits like this one… and in this case a lot of the lighter flavors are in fact gone. The dried peach and malty scone flavors are holding up pretty well, but the baking spices seem to have run for the exit. I’m still pretty impressed that the fruit is persisting, though, so credit where credit is due.Warm rich pot still malty goodness followed by notes of fruit, honey, vanilla, spice and citrus with a nutty undertone that ties everything together. I love the flavor of this whiskey almost as much as the aroma. The name “Redbreast” comes from the European Robin (known as Robin Redbreast), a bird that is native to Ireland and is known for its distinctive red-orange plumage. The chairman of Gilbey’s around the early 1900s was an avid amateur ornithologist and decided that the bird would make a perfect symbol for the whiskey. Redbreast is a uniquely Irish whiskey.

Gilbey’s, the company responsible for creating the Redbreast brand, originally sourced its whiskey from the Bow Street distillery in Dublin where Jameson was made. By the mid-20th century, Irish whiskey production had been reduced to three distilleries. In 1966, at the nadir of the Irish distilling industry, Cork, Jameson, and Powers distilleries combined their resources and became Irish Distillers. Irish Distillers continued to provide single pot still whiskey to Gilbey’s, which still bottled and sold Redbreast until 1986 when the brand was sold to Irish Distillers. Redbreast is a single pot still pioneer. Redbreast is distilled at the Midleton Distillery using copper pot stills and aged in Oloroso sherry casks. Home to several other single pot still Irish whiskeys, Midleton Distillery also produces Jameson and Tullamore Dew. Compared to either of those whiskeys, Redbreast 12 year is smoother but also more complex. Its sweetness is subtler, though still present. Its finish is smoother and lingers longer.

What makes me a little annoyed is that the entire bottle is a smoked green glass. I get that smoky green glass is kinda the “thing” for Irish whiskey, but I really wish sometimes that they wouldn’t do it. Or, at least, wouldn’t do it to this degree of opaqueness. You can barely see how much spirit is left in there, much less enjoy that amazing color until it finally comes out in your glass.Gilbey’s continued to source Redbreast from the Jameson distillery until it closed in 1971, when production moved to the new consolidated Midleton distillery. Production would continue there until Gilbey’s decided to discontinue the brand in 1985, eventually selling it to the Irish Distillers group (who also own Jameson) in 1986. The brand was eventually relaunched in 1991 and remains owned by the Irish Distillers group. Product Redbreast is available in a range of expressions, from the classic 12 year old to the rare and highly sought-after 27 year old. Each expression is aged in ex-bourbon and sherry casks and each has its own unique flavor profile, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice being standard throughout the range. Redbreast is the perfect whiskey for bird lovers. You are responsible for all activities through your account.
