{"product_id":"redbreast-12-year-irish-whiskey-1","title":"Redbreast 12 Year Irish Whiskey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRedbreast 12 Year is Ireland's benchmark single pot still whiskey — produced at Midleton Distillery in County Cork from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley distilled in copper pot stills, matured in American and European oak for 12 years, and bottled at 40% ABV to produce the classic pot still character of ripe fruit, nuts, and the long, slightly spicy finish that has defined the Redbreast house style since its founding.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle pot still Irish whiskey is a uniquely Irish category — the combination of malted and unmalted barley in a copper pot still produces a richer, creamier, more full-bodied spirit than single malt (which uses only malted barley) or grain whiskey (which uses column stills). The unmalted barley contributes the characteristic spice, oil, and body that distinguish pot still Irish whiskey from every other whiskey category in the world. Redbreast 12 Year is the accessible entry point to this style — the expression that has reintroduced an entire generation of whiskey drinkers to a category that had nearly disappeared from the market before its 1990s relaunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe orchard fruit, pot still spice, light vanilla and oak from American cask maturation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruits and nuts — the distinctive full-bodied pot still texture with the 12-year oak integration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and slightly spicy — the characteristic Redbreast pot still persistence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMash:\u003c\/strong\u003e Malted and unmalted barley\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e American and European oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/irish-whiskey\"\u003eIrish whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is single pot still Irish whiskey?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA uniquely Irish style made from both malted and unmalted barley distilled in a copper pot still.
