Redbreast is the best-selling Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey in the world. Full of aroma and flavour, Redbreast 12 Year Old benefits from a strong contribution from distillates matured in Oloroso sherry casks, giving it its signature Christmas cake character.
Redbreast dates back to 1903, when Jameson entered into an agreement with the Gilbeys Wines & Spirits Import Company to supply them with new-make spirit from their Bow St. Distillery. At the time, distilleries sold bulk whiskey to ‘bonders’, who, being importers of fortified wines such as sherry and port, had ample empty casks in which to mature the whiskey under bond.
