From a 50ml bottle. Like a cross between Glenmorangie 10yr and a high quality American corn whiskey. Very balanced with medium body, and the oak is subtle. A nice change of pace from other styles of whiskey, but not one that I would necessarily seek out very often.

Sweet and warming with big complexity too This is a very fruity and dessert-y whiskey when you look at the descriptors on paper--there's toffee, cinnamon, lots of citrus and bright herbal notes. They show up on the nose and on the palate. The body's rich and a bit oily; there's a pleasant alcohol warmth. But the sum is more than just sweetness and heat. The flavors are balanced and come through in layers. Nothing's off kilter in the slightest. This is an easy one to repeat even if it's priced a bit above the everyday realm.

Wonderfully balanced and drinkable Fancy Redbreast bottles have so far been more than worth the treat every time. Caramel, toffee, and spices carry the nose and persist through the palate. Gets spicier and more savory across the palate, always dynamic, always clean, always interesting. So many layers to the flavors. Finishes with cookies, wood notes, and more little notes of baking spices. Really a fun one to focus on and tease out the details.

Another RB very well made whiskey. This and the 12 yr are the best I have yet found for making true Irish coffee. If you can hassle to make em’ don't skip out on lighting up the alcohol & sugar on fire and makin’ the freshly whipped cream!
