Redbreast 12 seems to be a staple in most home bars and my aim was to find out why. Orange and ginger sing on the nose. This whisky smells like its going to be viscous and oily. Just the tiniest kiss of coconut and melons finish off this interesting and complex nose. Honey opens the taste to dried raspberries and apricots. An oily nuttiness kicks in mid palate, bringing with it some walnuts and recalling that sweet honey on the other side of the fruits. The finish adds baking spice and sweet cream but also a slightly tannic tail at the very end of the finish. So far, my favorite of the Redbreast selections for sure.
