Redbreast Bird Feeder Bottle 12-Year-Old Irish Whiskey represents a $69.99/750 ml bottle encased in a removable and reusable red copper bird feeder proposition in the evolving Irish whiskey landscape.
Nose
40% ABV (80 Proof). SRP $69.99/750 ml bottle encased in a removable and reusable red copper bird feeder. Aged 12 years from a mash of malted and unmalted barley. With subtle sweetness, the aroma hints at a complex tasting, with seaweed, heather, oak, and fig showing up in various areas. While the nose on this whiskey has some promise, there is a bit missing on the palate. There are some cooling notes with elements of menthol, spiced cider, and dried fruits, along with a fairly long finish.
Palate
Ultimately, this is an enjoyable if not slightly forgettable Irish whiskey. I appreciate the efforts of the fundraiser, and the whiskey is fresh and easy to drink, but I dont think I would go out of my way to find this Redbreast on the shelf. For those who like their whiskey tame, this expression offers sweetness and a mild flavor profile.
