Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
Redbreast 15 Year Old was created in 2005 for La Maison du whiskey in Paris, France. This offering was so well-received that it is now distributed worldwide, taking an Irish whiskey to appreciative taste buds around the globe. The robin, which is featured on every bottle, is a reflection of the founder's love of birds. Others surmise that the bird symbolizes soaring above earth, much like the feeling when one drinks such spirits. A whiskey of such caliber represents an exceptional value to any customer. Whether served neat or on the rocks, a fine cut crystal glass or snifter only makes the experience richer.

The result of an historically prohibitive tax placed on malted barley by the English crown, Irish Whiskey is most often produced from a combination of un-malted barley and other grains. Whereas most other Whiskeys are twice distilled, Irish Whiskeys are distilled three times in a column still and must mature in oak barrels for a minimum of three years. These intricate production steps combine to make them lighter, smoother and more approachable than other styles.
