Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength
The award-winning Redbreast Cask Strength 12 Year Old. The Cask Strength has perhaps been one of the most favourably received and won Master at the Irish Whiskey Masters 2023. Most of the maturation is done in sherry casks but with careful selection so that the sherry character does not overpower the whiskey. The pot still content really shines through which explains why it has been winning so many awards.
Please note batch number will vary. Please email info@celticwhiskeyshop.com, if you wish to know the current batch number in advance of purchasing.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
![]() |
|
Nose | Pronounced aromas of bread, marzipan, vanilla, apricot and citrus with less obvious Sherry cask influence than the standard 12 Year Old. |
Palate | Forceful, fresh and crisp but with a rich mouthfeel. Almost like an unpeated Scottish coastal malt in character. Tropical fruits, exotic spice and vanilla flavours. Very complex. Becomes spicier with time. Great length, less sherry influence than the standard bottling and a little rougher round the edges, but this is made up by the gloriously complex character. |
