Redbreast 21 Year

I had long awaited to finally taste this dram. The incredibly famous Redbreast 21yo was supposed to be the most chocolaty-amazing whiskey in all the land. I was at an Irish Bar, and this was the most expensive glass of them all. $50 was the price to pay for this tasting moment. And when they brought the whiskey, i felt it didn't have the aroma i expected. Actually it took a few minutes to open up... then it was wonderful. Well, lets do this: On the nose: Vanilla mixed wirh grain whiskey. Coffee. Burnt caramel but not as creme brulee. Cocoa. Dark chocolate; Peanut butter, Definitively buttery. Butterfinger chocolate and Dulce de leche. Such a treat. On the palate, explosion of chocolate and Butter. Maybe peanutbutter. Very thick, lots of character. Aftertaste is spicy with clove notes. Overall this is a fantastic dram, BUT YOU MUST LET IT BREATH. Its overall sensation is that you are having a Milka Caramel Chocolate. 93 out of 100. Sláinte!

Most delicious after my bottle has opened up even more after 12 weeks.

Honey, rich, mouth-watering. Complex stuff. Excellent.

What a thing of beauty. Nose is vibrant with hazelnut, fig, almond, white chocolate, white pepper, leather, straw, and oak. Lively, oily mouthfeel, supple fruit on the tongue that follows through so well from the nose. Drier than the nose with more spice as it lingers....and it lingers. What a beautiful dram.
