I recently started a journey into all things Irish whiskey after trying one at a sampling. Discovered I really enjoyed the 'shortbread cookie' of the whiskey world, and purchased a few bottles for the bar to share. At least, I thought I LIKED Irish whiskey, until I ordered and received my bottle of Redbreast twelve. Now I LOVE it. There are simply not enough words to describe how wonderful this whiskey is. While some may knock the proof, I find it a perfectly balanced, yet wildly nuanced superbly smooth drinker. Every note you'd expect to find in an Irish you'll find here, just dialed up to 10. I don't know what they're doing or how they're doing it, I just want them to keep at it. This whiskey is inspiring and would make a GREAT gift for anyone looking to impress.
