No. Redbreast is a single pot still Irish whiskey, which is a distinct and specifically Irish style made from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley, distilled in copper pot stills at Midleton Distillery. Single malt uses 100% malted barley. The inclusion of unmalted barley in the mash bill gives Redbreast its characteristic creamy texture, spicy grain, green apple, and toasted cereal notes that single malt whiskeys do not produce. Single pot still is Ireland's most original contribution to world whiskey.

Redbreast is produced at Midleton Distillery, County Cork, by Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. The Redbreast brand name dates to 1912, when W and A Gilbey wine merchants used it to label their allocation of pot still whiskey from the old Jameson Bow Street Distillery in Dublin. Irish Distillers acquired the brand in 1985. Today, Redbreast is distilled, matured, and bottled entirely at Midleton and is widely regarded as the finest expression of the single pot still style.
