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!
