Single Pot Still Whiskey
Redbreast is one of the few single pot still whiskey brands produced today (along with Irish Distillers' Green Spot), and is the only one with an age statement. Note that all single malts are also purely from a pot still, but single pot still whiskeys use partially unmalted barley, so they cannot be technically called a single malt. Also, single malt whiskeys were generally distilled twice, whereas single pot still whiskeys were generally distilled three times.
