Redbreast 12 is the signature bottling of a single pot still Irish whiskey that the brand calls the world's most awarded in its category. It is a rich, sherry-forward whiskey and the definitive way into the Redbreast range.
Redbreast is made by Irish Distillers at the Midleton Distillery. The 12 Year Old is a single pot still whiskey, a style made from both malted and unmalted barley.
The whiskey is triple distilled in copper pot stills and matured for at least 12 years in oloroso sherry-seasoned and ex-bourbon oak. It is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
