Pot Still, Sherry Cask, Patience
Redbreast is made at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in giant copper pot stills — the traditional Irish single pot still method that gives the whiskey its creamy weight and signature spice. Maturation leans hard on oloroso sherry casks, layering dried fig, toasted nuts, and dark fruit over the pot still spice. The ladder is one of whiskey's great progressions: the beloved 12 Year and its bolder 12 Year Cask Strength sibling, the richer 15 Year, the majestic 21 Year, and the Lustau Edition, finished in first-fill oloroso casks from Bodegas Lustau in Jerez. The name, by the way, honors the robin redbreast — a nod from a bird-loving chairman in the brand's early Dublin days.
If you buy one Irish whiskey to understand what the category can be, the whiskey world will point you here first.

Redbreast FAQs
What is single pot still whiskey?
An Irish style made at one distillery from a mix of malted and unmalted barley, distilled in a pot still. The unmalted barley gives pot still whiskey its distinctive creamy texture and spicy character.
Redbreast 12 or 15 — which should I choose?
The 12 is the classic balance of sherry fruit and pot still spice and the value pick. The 15 spends longer in cask for deeper dried-fruit and wood notes — the connoisseur's step up.
What is the Redbreast Lustau Edition?
A collaboration with Bodegas Lustau in Spain: Redbreast matured in bourbon and sherry casks, then finished in first-fill oloroso sherry casks from Lustau for an extra-dark, figgy, nutty profile.
