Redbreast 12 years old Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Jameson , Redbreast
89
Redbreast 12 year
Redbreast is a beautifully balanced pure pot still Irish Whiskey, with a warm, generous texture, rich, sweet flavours and a spicy kick. In the view of many connoisseurs, the finest Irish whiskey available.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (88): inexistent. sweet, grain, corn, floral, vanilla, barley. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (92): . sweet, corn, hot, honey, vanilla. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (88): no finish. sweet, vanilla, wood. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Redbreast 12 year with 89 points over 100.
