Redbreast (whiskey)
Redbreast is a brand of single pot still type Irish Whiskey. The only consistently available expression is a 12-year expression – although a 15 year old expression was released in 2010 and is expected to be an ongoing bottling variation. Redbreast comes in a green bottle, and the 12 year old is 40.0% ABV (80 proof) – whereas the 15 year old is at 46% ABV and is non-chill filtered. It is produced at the New Midleton Distillery by Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. In 2010, the Redbreast 12-year variation was proclaimed Irish Whiskey of the Year by whiskey writer, Jim Murray, and was also nominated as #1 buy in John Hansell's Buyer's Guide, which gave it a rating score of 96 points.

Famous quotes containing the word redbreast:
“Therefore all seasons shall be sweet to thee,
Whether the summer clothe the general earth
With greenness, or the redbreast sit and sing
Betwixt the tufts of snow on the bare branch
Of mossy apple-tree,”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
