This benchmark whisky showcases a wonderful array of stone fruits on the nose with suggestions of cigar box, leather, and iodine. The palate is stately and structured, with notes of golden raisin, toasted Brazil nuts, and cracked black pepper that surges into the finish.

Golden amber color. Aromas of milk chocolate with almonds, nutty sherry, charred toast, dried apricots, and leather with a supple, vibrant, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-length arugula, Marmite on brioche, espresso, minerals, and peanut marzipan finish. A bold and chewy Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey.

Redbreast 12 year old is a classic pure pot still Irish whiskey; where can you go from there? This new 15 year old expression is more muscular (bottling at 46% and not chill filtering certainly helps), but there are trade-offs. It’s a bit closed on the nose (like a great Bordeaux wine that’s too young). I do enjoy the silky/oily texture, the bold resinous oak spice grip on the finish, and the rich nutty toffee, fig, black raspberry, chocolaty, chewy nougat throughout the palate. Still, it’s not as eminently drinkable, refined, or balanced as the 12 year old. - Winter 2010

Made with a combination of malted and unmalted barley, this 15-year-old builds on the beautiful flavors of the 12-year-old version, adding big, mouth-filling caramel tones, a spicy finish and a velvety feel. It's also higher proof than the 12-year-old and needs some dilution to help cool it down.

Nose: Full and rich with a complex yet balanced mix of berry fruits and aromatic oils. Taste: Fully round and mellow with the succulence of fleshy fruit combined with spices and toasted wood. Finish: Long and sophisticated.
