Redbreast 12 pours Oily and Clingy into the Glencairn. Nose: The nose is mild, but complex. Malt and Fruit forward. Apple, Pear, Grape. A hint of Citrus (think Icebox Lemon Pie). Oatmeal with Brown Sugar, Sherry, Pencil Shavings, Fresh Paint, and Oak. Lots of great smells that I can't quite pin down. The longer it stays in the glass the more the Brown Sugar Sweetness dominates. I could nose this for hours. Neat: Nice Heavy Oily Coating Mouthfeel. A little Black Pepper tingle at first, fading to Grape, Milk Chocolate, Marshmallow, Coconut, and Pencil Shavings. There is a little Bitterness. Just the mildest heat on the finish. Mild Malty Sweetness coats and lingers. Much like the nose, the palate gets sweeter with time. Splash: Really makes the Brown Sugar prominent on the nose. Vanilla and Brown Sugar take center stage on the palate. Verdict: Really Good, but not Great. Just can't quite bring myself to give it that quarter star, but it's oh so close. I'd love to try this in cask strength as I think it would make some of the more subtle notes bolder. I do not regret the $65 price tag, but I will make this bottle last a while at that price.
