Redbreast (whiskey)
Redbreast (Whiskey)[edit | edit source]
Redbreast is a renowned brand of Irish whiskey that has been in production since the early 20th century. It is produced by the Irish Distillers subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, a French company. Redbreast is known for its smooth and complex flavor profile, which is a result of its unique production process.
History[edit | edit source]
Redbreast dates back to 1903 when the brand was first established by Gilbey's, a wine and spirits merchant based in Dublin. The name "Redbreast" is derived from the bird, the Robin Redbreast, which is a common sight in Ireland. The brand was initially known for its 12-year-old whiskey, which remains a popular choice among whiskey enthusiasts today.
Production[edit | edit source]
Redbreast is a single pot still whiskey, which means it is made from a mix of malted and unmalted barley in a single copper pot still. This method of production gives the whiskey its distinctive rich and full-bodied flavor. The whiskey is then aged in a combination of American oak and sherry casks, which contributes to its complex flavor profile.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
There are several varieties of Redbreast whiskey available, each with its own unique characteristics. These include:
- Redbreast 12 Year Old: This is the original Redbreast whiskey, known for its rich, spicy, and fruity flavor.
- Redbreast 15 Year Old: A more mature version of the 12 Year Old, this whiskey has a deeper flavor with notes of dried fruit and spice.
- Redbreast 21 Year Old: This is the oldest expression in the Redbreast range, offering a complex and sophisticated flavor profile.
- Redbreast Lustau Edition: This special edition whiskey is finished in sherry casks from the prestigious Bodegas Lustau in Spain, giving it a unique flavor profile.
Awards and Recognition[edit | edit source]
Redbreast has received numerous awards and accolades for its high-quality whiskey. Some of the most notable include the World Whiskey Awards, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the International Wine and Spirit Competition.
