Red Breast - Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Redbreast15.jpg
For any of you whiskey drinkers who have never tried a really good Irish whiskey, I have to point out that Red Breast's 15 year old whiskey was released last year in limited circulation (due to a small batch) and will probably be quite a few years before we can enjoy it again. It was first introduced in 2006, the second edition came in 2010, the third in 2014. Its from the Midleton distillery in Midleton, Co Cork.

This is an exceptional whiskey, from its complex honey taste, to a gorgeous palate, the finish is so satisfying. We have an extensive sipping whiskey collection & this is among the best you can get at any price, in our opinion.

If you miss the 15; try the 12, which is still a terrific value for money. Redbreast 15 (46%) is richer, earthier and stronger than its 12 year old sibling (40%). Here in So California, the 12 year old runs approx. $40-50, while the 15 costs $75 - 100. The Whisky Advocate prefers the 12 over the 15, but that was the 2010 edition & we are currently sipping the 2104 edition; not exactly the same, due to the variables of a small batch.

Slainte !
