Redbreast 15 Year

One of the best Irish Whiskys I've tasted. I like this significantly better than Yellow Spot, and that was previously my favorite.

Nose - Dark caramel, hint of grass, hint of spicy leather, dark apple-cranberry juice. Taste - Rich & oily mouthfeel, nice fruity spice, dark caramel, crisp berry cider, sweet leather, slightly fruity metallic, grilled stone fruits. Finish - Lingering warm spice, dark fleshed fruits, light metallic, light spicy fruity bitterness Score - 88/100 Final Thoughts - This is quite nice, it's pretty apparently this has spent some time aging in oak as it shows on the nose & palate. Nice rich mouthfeel and bold nose. Still maintains a lot of the characteristics I get from an Irish though of a very clean, almost grain-like quality. Interesting how I get a hint of the grassy notes on the nose, but it doesn't really show up on the palate. The only thing that's a bit off-putting is the metallic notes I get near the end. It's a bit distracting from the very pleasant initial experience. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - Probably not another

Excellent. Balanced and layered with no dominating notes. Best Irish whiskey I’ve tried though at the price point you are better off with the 12.

Woody / lemon nose. Spicy, woody palate. Pleasant warm finish. Verdict: woody

the toast and the wood spices were prevelant on the nose. with a slight sweetness and bitterness on the pallet. After adding a couple drops of water the honey came out a bit more
