Redbreast 21 Year

Sweet buttery fine Irish whiskey

Nose: sherry galore, ripe red berries, sourish honey, pineapple, red grapes, light chocolate. All in all rich and more fresh instead of an expected sweetness. Palate: very interesting. Next to a sour fruitiness I got a nice pine tree resin taste. That’s new - never had that before. Also a heavy sweet cranberry jam taste, spicey cloves and some intense dry wood. Finish: long, a little numbing white pepper burn, a fruity bitterness like when you bite into the peel of an orange. A very deep and rich Irish whisk(e)y. Really something different. Even if it came across a little rough the experience is very unique and interesting.

Complex and lingering. Some fruitiness of the 12 has returned but transformed from citrus to dense tropical. A highly intense bready nose. Finishes with toffee and clove.
