Redbreast 12 Year Cask Strength

Neat. Delightful nose. Buttery. A bread like quality. Nice creamy mouth feel. Tons of flavor, misleading off the nose. Hits you with a lot of spice. Very savory flavors. Nice long legs. Irish Whiskey capable of more than I knew!

Rich, deep, dark aromas of dried fruit, leather, cinnamon, toasted oak, chai spices, vanilla and hints of dark tropical fruits, apricots and golden raisins. - Incredibly powerful on the palate with a big punch of cinnamon and spice with a strong alcoholic warmth. Juicy dark fruit flavours with some chewy dried fruit as well, rich, sweet and spicy Sherry and toasted European Oak with hints of vanilla and maple sugar. - The finish is warm with lingering spices and dry oak soaked in sherry with chewy bits of dark berry jam on shortbread cookies. — With water added, aromas of orange peel and lightly smoky oak appear with warm butter and sugar. The palate feels fuller and more exciting with added hints of chocolate, malt and cereal. The finish I more gentle and sweet, but also seems to last longer. — Whiskey Mark: 96

Nose: caramel apple, sugar cookie after a while - I may be forcing that Taste: hot, some apple Finish: honey, shortbread cookie After reading reviews: flaviar notes mint and I see that on the finish, I’m just not getting any sweetness on the taste. I want to like this one so much, but it just hasn’t done it for me on the first couple tries. Hopefully letting it sit for a while will change things.

Nice well rounded! Not too sweet.!
