Review & Tasting Notes
Irish whiskies can be a little too dependable when it comes to proof and flavor profile. What we found with this Red Breast 12 is a new standard in Irish Whiskey! Coming in at 80 proof, you will be just as surprised as we are every time we have a dram (or two) of this unexpectedly complex and delightful whiskey!
