Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength is the undiluted expression of Redbreast's iconic 12 Year Old, bottled straight from the cask at natural strength. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills at Midleton Distillery, and matured for 12 years in a combination of bourbon-seasoned American oak barrels and Oloroso sherry-seasoned Spanish oak butts, it delivers the full, uncompromising character of one of the world's most celebrated single pot still Irish whiskies.

Why You'll Love It

For those who want Redbreast 12 at its most expressive, the Cask Strength expression is the definitive choice. Bottled without dilution, it reveals a depth and intensity that rewards both neat sipping and adding a drop of water to open up the flavour. A multiple award winner, including Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Double Gold at the Barleycorn Awards 2024.

Nose: Complex, spicy, and fruity, with toasted wood notes and a rich sherry undercurrent. Palate: Full-flavoured and silky smooth, with a harmonious balance of spice, fruit, sherry richness, and toasted oak — all amplified by the cask strength. Finish: Satisfyingly long, with complex flavours that linger on the palate.
