Redbreast Whiskey has chosen Sonny Molloys Irish Whiskey Bar as the first on-trade establishment to release a 16 Year Old Single Cask whiskey. I was already expecting to mostly drink this whiskey neat, and will definitely continue to enjoy the rest of this bottle.Redbreast Whiskey chooses Sonny Molloys Irish Whiskey Bar to release first 16 Year Old Single Cask The price is also a bit high if you are looking for a cocktail whiskey.īut, these are mostly just words of caution, since I still wholeheartedly recommend Redbreast 12 Year. I would definitely recommend trying a glass at a bar or looking out for a sampler bottle if you’re curious about Irish whiskey and aren’t ready to commit that much money to one whiskey. While I do think this is a fair price compared to other imported whiskies, it’s still a significant amount of money. Redbreast is about $60 in my area, but I did see some holiday discounts at my local target recently. The nose also seemed to become sweeter over time, and my partner thought it smelled like pecan pie. I really enjoy how well the mellow spice and wood notes balanced with the sweet and nutty notes. Redbreast 12 Year is a delightful experience and I’m really excited to try more Irish whiskey. Red Breast is produced by the Midleton Distillery, the biggest distillery in Ireland, that houses the biggest copper pot still in the world and distills other famous Irish whiskies including Jameson. Traditionally, Irish whiskey is triple distilled in a copper pot still. Modern Irish whiskey begins around the late 1600’s when Irish spirit makers started producing whiskey with a combination of malted and unmalted barley to avoid English taxes.Īnother key component to whiskey is the distilling process. Some of the first distilled spirits in Europe came from Ireland so there was already a well-established distilling culture that endured through the tumultuous relationship with England. Redbreast 12 Year is a single pot stilled Irish whiskey that stays faithful to the history of Irish distilling. And Redbreast 12 Year seemed like a perfect option because of it’s reputation and rich history. So after focusing on American whiskey for most of this year, I thought Irish whiskey would be a nice change of pace.
As we head into the holiday season and the weather gets colder, I always find myself craving the warm feeling of a glass of whiskey.
