Redbreast 15 Year

This will always be a staple on my bar. Love it. Even friends who typically do not like whiskey enjoy it.

Wood spices, honey, vanilla and tangerine zest on the nose. Creamy and oily mouthfeel with sweet lemon, baking spices, wood spices, a little salt. Sweet medium finish with sweet citrus peel and baking spices. Personally for me, I like the 12yo more, which might be a surprise for some of you. For me, 12yo is more hard to understand, yet more complex with different, less sweet taste.

Noses: 15 is spicier and woodier than the 12 on the nose. 12 has a fresh fruity petrichor malt note on the nose. 15 comes in with some darker cinnamon and vanilla extract, honey. 12 has a vanilla ice cream note, Palates: 12 is clean, fruity and a bit drying. The malt chewiness hits early, carried with a shortbread note for sure. Citrus peel. A slight sherry. 15 is decisively a bit oilier, fried banana is a good note here. Still creamy and smooth. Nutmeg. Finishes: 15 has citrus peel and slight peppermint. 12 is super creamy with a mild spiciness
