Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength (2022)

Smell

Wow! Dried fruit, chocolate and vanilla opens up a manifold world of flavours. It feels like every twist of the whiskey is unique. Once we perceive dominant citrus aromas, the second time roasted aromas, light oak and some caramel. A little later, a rich fruit basket follows. Suddenly, some banana comes through, here and there a drop of honey and a gentle hint of cinnamon. The whole thing reminds us of a 5-star hotel breakfast with a gigantic selection.

Taste

Incredibly rich, the Single Pot Still has a lot to offer and the image of a hotel breakfast also fits here. The taste is dominated by cinnamon buns and crepes with cinnamon sugar. They are joined by hay, a little toasted white bread, nutmeg and a super exciting fruitiness. We also find honey. Almonds, Brazil nuts, vanilla and light oak spice round off the velvety smooth taste experience. The approx. 60% ABV is perfectly integrated, so that the alcohol as a flavour carrier brings out and presents the flavours cleanly.

Finish

The long finish of the Redbreast 12 CS is dominated by roasted dates, hay, some milk chocolate, subliminal spicy oak and dried fruit.
