Appearance: Orangey copper was the color of this lovely Irish whiskey, and thin watery legs slid down the glass’s walls, much like Tobey Maguire in the first Spiderman movie when he’s testing his powers. Nose: A beautiful nose welcomes you with notes of caramel and honey, buttery cinnamon toast with brown sugar, dark notes of plum, blackberry, and cherry mixed with yogurt giving me a summer breakfast of berries and yogurt smell. Other notes fill in the extra space such as pine, barrel spice and char. A splash of water adds notes of honey, dandelion, and vanilla and causes it to smell very Canadian. Taste: On the palate, a full oily body. It’s rich with notes of brown sugar and cinnamon again, dark ripe cherry, black pepper, with some medicinal and metallic notes hidden in there as well. Adding a splash of water gives it a sugary sweet Sour Patch candy vibe. Finish: You are left with a medium long finish with a peppery spice aftertaste. Thoughts: This whiskey is good; it’s complex and definitely worth trying. I recommend it. But, if it had a personality, I’d say it would be a little standoffish. I was slightly disappointed in there not being as much as I was expecting on the palate in comparison to the nose. When it comes down to it, of all the expressions of Redbreast I’ve had, I’m choosing the 12 as my favorite! All are good though! Thank you Midleton, for another great whiskey! Sláinte!
