Redbreast 12 Year Cask Strength
The final St. Patty’s Week Irish Whiskey review is for Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength. I have had both the Redbreast 12 and the Redbreast Lustau before, but not the Cask Strength. The standard 12 Year Old is great, but my only qualm is the 40% ABV it’s bottled at. The Lustau, for those that do not know, is a NAS whiskey (rumored to be made from 9-12 year old juice), that is then finished in Oloroso sherry casks. I really liked the Lustau as well (bottled at 46%) and will have to pick up another bottle down the road for reviewing purposes. I am excited for the Cask Strength version to see what the Redbreast tastes like in its raw form without being watered down to 40%. Let’s see how it goes.
