- Nose: A fruit explosion filled with figs, ripe bananas, raisins, and red apples. Lime zest intertwines with the signature spiciness of single pot still, accompanied by vanilla and pine sweetness from bourbon casks.
- Palate: Rich dried fruits with hints of lemon oil and aromatic spices. The sweetness of vanilla leads into layers of toasted oak and barley.
- Finish: Extremely long and complex, with fruit and spice notes slowly releasing, evolving into a sweet, butterscotch-like barley finish.

Redbreast is widely considered the benchmark for 'Single Pot Still' whiskey. This style is the soul of Irish whiskey, using both malted and unmalted barley and triple-distilled in traditional copper pot stills. Compared to Scotch, Irish Pot Still whiskey typically offers a thicker, oilier, and more spicy mouthfeel.
The 12 Year Old Cask Strength version is produced annually in small batches, with B1/22 representing the first batch of 2022. The greatest appeal of the Cask Strength version is that it allows the drinker to see this famous whiskey through the eyes of the Master Distiller. At 58.1%, the dark fruit and dark chocolate notes from the sherry casks and the cream and honey notes from the bourbon casks are greatly magnified.
When tasting this B1/22, we suggest taking a small sip neat to experience its powerful structure, then trying a few drops of water. Water helps the alcohol molecules open up, releasing hidden tropical fruit and crème brûlée aromas. For whiskey lovers seeking intensity and complexity, Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength is an essential addition to any cellar.
