Redbreast 15 Year

Smells like caramel. So smooth.

Nose: baking spice, fresh baked bread, buttered toast. Salted caramel. Red currant maybe? Palate: Infinitely buttery smooth. Sweet but not overly so. Vanilla cream, orchard fruit, mostly apple. Very light caramel apple note. Baking spice, warm bread. Finish: gentle warming oak and baking spice. Mild drying oak tannin.

Imagine you take the standard 12 and remove some of those gingery, cinnamony, nutmeg notes. It gets more of the wood influence but loses some of what makes the 12 so popular. I personally prefer the 12

Complex but still smooth
