Redbreast Pure Pot Still Whiskey (Old Bottling) 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep copper-amber with burnished-gold highlights; a warm, honeyed amber that glows in the glass with a subtle reddish-copper sheen.

Nose

Inviting nose of ripe red fruit and sherry-rich depth. Baked apples and pears mingle with fig and raisin, brightened by orange zest and a touch of toffee. Spices whirl—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—alongside vanilla and polished oak. A whisper of leather and cocoa lends gravitas, hinting at the old-bottling character and 12-year maturity.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this Redbreast glides across the palate with sherried warmth. Dried fruits—raisin, fig—and orange zest meet creamy vanilla, honey and almond, while touches of cocoa emerge. Spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—spark a gentle heat over a velvety barley backbone and oak. The finish is long and refined, with fruitcake sweetness and a soft peppery linger.

Finish

Silky and lingering, the finish unfolds with orchard fruit and orange zest giving way to warm spice—cinnamon and clove—settling into creamy oak. Dried fruit sweetness lingers, with a subtle peppery glow that fades to a refined, honeyed echo.
