Redbreast reviews

The last time I put the Redbreast 2015 on the lips, dates back to 2010. Today the same whiskey is in the glass, but admittedly from a more recent bottling, namely 2019. The nose is a panoply of apples…

Ah, the first time I tasted the Redbreast 12 was in 2009. It is therefore high time to put it on the lips again, I think. And I have a double portion, because both Benny and Pat – two good whisk(e)y…

It’s still March 17 here in Canada as I write this, and I decided to catch ip on a couple of Irish whiskey samples that I have had for far too long. It’s also Purim today, and the tradition is you’re…

This one has been in my cabinet for a few years now, thankfully I bought it just before the LCBO boosted the price up to the current $80. I bring this up because I feel like the place it held in my…
