Redbreast 12 yo, my first experience with an Irish single pot still π₯
This dram intrigues me, it is deep and complex and very enjoyable. Also listening to Master Blender Billy Leighton talking about it gave me a lot of respect for it.
πππππ NOSE β’
The nose is rich and full, with sponge cake vanilla, some caramel and marzipan, balanced with nuts and fruit notes in the citrus peel area.
πππππ PALATE β’
As I mentioned it is a deep whisky that I haven't completely wrapped my head around. The palate is however also full, oily and creamy. With notes of vanilla, dried fruits and sherry.
πππππ FINISH β’
Finish is still rather oily and creamy with the spice, sponge cake, nuts and citrus.
πππππ OVERALL β’
A very full and round experience, must have tasted it three times until I felt I could do an initial tasting note of it.
I'm looking forward to taste the 15yo and the Cask Strength whisky as well!
