Jameson Redbreast 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, 70 Cl

Redbreast 12 year old is one of very few aged pure pot still whiskies. It was first launched in 1939 as a pot still whiskey supplied by Jameson to whiskey bonders before bottling at the distillery became the norm in 1968. Thus Redbreast all but disappeared until its re-launch by the distillery in the 1990s as a single pot still whiskey. Using water from the Dungourney river beside the Middleton Distillery the malted and unmalted barley is fermented to a wash of 8 percent abv, then distilled in copper pot stills. Matured for a minimum of 12 years in a combination of Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks and American oak ex-Bourbon barrels. Like all good pot still whiskeys, it is strongly flavoured and assertive, making it a rare treat for the connoisseur of fine old whiskey and very different to the rest of the Jameson range.
