Whisky Reviews for Redbreast 12-year-old

10 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 86.59 points

  1. Koalafant scored this whisky 89 points Expert Senior

    • Nose
      The nose is greeted by the typical pot still notes: a slight sweetness with pleasant grain notes. In addition, hay, ecalyptus honey, vanilla and apple compote.
    • Taste
      An ever sweeter fruit bomb explodes on the palate with a light, pleasant bitterness and the obligatory grain note.
    • Finish
      Long, grassy and lightly burning.

  2. Archer scored this whisky 89 points Connoisseur

    After the volume percentages increased from 57.7 to 58.6 to 59.9 for batches B1 / 11-B1 / 13, Batch B1 / 14 has now gone back in the other direction. We have now arrived at 57.4%.
    Still a great member of the single pot still whiskeys: full, fruity, spicy, classic pot still. Only in the departure of this batch is my opinion a bit weaker (because shorter) than its predecessors.
    • Nose
      89 89
      A full, voluminous nose with dark fruits, sultanas and figs. Brown sugar covers the fruits.
      In addition, a strong leather note. After a while, the fruit fades into the background and pepper and nutmeg, mixed with the leather, take the lead. This spicy nose stays "stable" for a very long time, nothing flattens out.
    • Taste
      89 89
      Very full and creamy onset, which, although undiluted, does not burn, but only pleasantly warms.
      Sherrynoten in addition to fine bitter chocolate, oak is surprisingly easy to taste. Spicy: White pepper, mild liquorice. Almonds. Fresh pipe tobacco. It gets a bit thin at the back.
    • Finish
      88 88
      Medium long, getting dry. Finished with sherry and berries, oak.

    Great whiskey, smooth at this strenght, not at all a sherrybom, well balanced between cask and spirit. fruity, creme, vanille, buttery, pear... It stays with you, the finish is the best part, it sticks on your tongue.

  8. Tommyknocker scored this whisky 88 points Expert Senior

    a really great Irishman, lots of sweet fruit paired with sherry notes. Class All Day Dram.
    • Nose
      Pure: very sweet, flowery, powerful Sherrynase. Cotton candy, honey, orange peel. Chocolate, plum cake set the tone in the Sherrynoten. Really delicious and round! With water: more herbs, not so sweet and flowery.
    • Taste
      Pure: sweet, creamy, buttery onset with very nice likerartgien Sherrynoten, milk chocolate, greek yoghurt with honey. hot! With water: drier, not so creamy.
    • Finish
      medium long, sweet, chocolaty
