It’s a common misconception that Irish whiskey is all about smooth and sweet. Sure, there are plenty of brands that fit that description, but there are also some much more richly textured spirits out there Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength is one such whiskey; it’s a big-bodied spirit with strong flavors and an enjoyable finish. Let’s take a closer look at this uniquely crafted whiskey.
A little bit of Irish whiskey history
Irish whiskey is the oldest known spirit in the world. It’s been produced for over 500 years and has a rich history of being used in religious ceremonies, as well as being a distillation method for adding value to other spirits. In fact, single pot still whiskies are considered by many to be the purest form of Irish whiskey because they’re made by distilling the mash twice: once to produce low wine (or feints) and then again to make what we know today as blended or pot still whiskeys.
