- With World Whisky Day right around the corner, we thought we would branch out of our country and try some Irish Whiskey in the Bourbon-Drinkers friendly Redbreast 12 Year Cask Strength. It's made from a combination of malted and unmalted barely and comes in at 115.2 proof.

Careful! Redbreast sent me on a long strange trip of non-bourbon whiskeys that ended up with me loving the peaty stuff :)
Lmao I drinking a laphroiag 10 cask strength right now. Same as you with the whisky worm hole
@@clarke4071 Haha, exact same here.
Here's hoping your Irish whiskey episode does better than many of mine. This whiskey is fantastic
I will always have a bottle of this on my whiskey bar. That said...........just one correction.
12yrRBCS is not a finished whiskey. It is completely matured in both ex bourbon and sherry casks the entire 12 yrs.
Anyways, have a great weekend you two.
It's definitely become a Top 5 in my collection. Absolutely delicious.
Redbreast 12yr CS is definitely a great intro to Irish whiskey for those who love the high proof, but the regular 12yr 80 proof is more of your quintessential Irish whiskey without the sharp metallic bite you get from other Irish whiskeys. All that being said, as Beam nutty lovers (Bookers), I'd highly recommend the Redbreast 15yr. It's by far my favorite of the 12, 12CS, 15, Lustau, and even 21. Love your whiskey content. Keep it up Chad and Sarah!
The 27 is phenomenal.
Yes, this is my first time here but Bourbon isn't my Go-To whisky. I have this Redbreast in my collection and enjoyed it too. I have a few other Irish but most of my stock is Scotch. With this Redbreast, I found lots of evolving tastes and smells as is and when you add small varying amounts of water. Also when you go back to that bottle after a few weeks now that some air has gotten into it, you'll see other sensations coming out of it. Very interesting whiskey.
Drank along with you guys, I’m also trying the CS for the first time. I love RB 12 80 proof and this CS didn’t disappoint.
Finally.... Irish are my favorite followed by some Scotch. Redbreast Cask truly is Lovely. My favorite of all time is Yellow Spot. Maybe for 601. I think you have to take into account Import taxes when it comes to Irish Whiskey. Ireland taxes quite a cut on that particular export.
I'm normally not a big irish fan, but I picked this up last week from one of the employee's recommendation and I'm glad I did. It's so good! I put a couple of drop of water and it was amazing.
This is exciting. Kick ass production work guys, thank you!
My favorite Irish whiskey. So many are sweet and bland, but this one packs a lot of spice and flavor. Glad you liked it and happy whisk(e)y day!
I have been a bourbon drinker for a long time and recently gave this a try because of all the good press. It was a delicious whiskey and I really enjoyed it, but afterwards I just wanted to buy a bottle of bourbon (I only keep two bottles at once). It was really good, but didn't satisfy what I like so much when it comes to bourbon or rye.
I love that you are mainly about bourbon and I hope you´ll stay that way, but this is a nice change. I would love to see you taste some other wiskies from time to time.
I think you guys should definitely branch out into other whiskeys. We understand….lol. I’d love to see an Irish/Scotch series
Single pot still Irish whiskey is my favorite. I always keep Redbreast 12 cask strength and Redbreast 21 as well as Green Spot, Yellow Spot, and Red Spot on hands at all times. I love the more flavorful fruit, spicy, and creamy/oily profile.
I love bourbon and the glencairn but my all time favorite is redbreast with the copita . Lol Mint, lemon, citrus A nice alternative to bourbon. Bourbon, scotch and Irish whiskEy ! They all have room on my bar. Redbreast gets the nod in my book as number 1
I have a bottle of this. It's amazing. Love it.
Wow I missed this when it came out last week. So glad you reviewed it and reviewed it well you did! By far my favorite Irish whiskey Cheers!
Redbreast 12 CS is a perfect choice for y'all -- I think it's particularly accessible for bourbon drinkers. I agree with Sara that the sherry is properly integrated as a supporting actor, not trying to steal the spotlight. I actually drink about as much Scotch as bourbon, so I get exposed to sherry very often -- but I still prefer when it is not the dominant flavor.
Yay! Loved to see this. I have an unopened bottle of this one on the shelf, just waiting for an occasion to pop the cork. Maybe this weekend for daughter's graduation celebration!
glad you two liked this one - this is probably my favorite Irish Whiskey - and the B1/20 you had (based on proof, and every batch is maybe has a 10% difference) is pretty good overall. If you want to try another Irish Whiskey, I'd recommend Yellow Spot - though it is lower proof, so it may not be to your liking. If you can find Blue Spot - try that instead (I've had zero luck finding it, but it is well reviewed). If you ever venture out to Scotch Whiskies - a good starting point would be Lagavulin Distillers Edition. Cheers!
The cask strength Red Breast is a great transition to Irish whiskeys. Much better than peated scotch.
I wouldn't go that far. RB12 is my second favorite whiskey all time. The only problem is Laphroaig is still number 1. I keep trying and keep trying to find something to topple it, hasn't happened yet.
Not tried the cask strength, but as a die hard bourbon drinker I adored the standard 12. A perfect cross over for bourbon drinkers who want to try something out of their comfort zone.
Love this guys! I was so exited when I saw this in my feed. Branching out. Great stuff!
Great first non-American whiskey... absolutely love the RB12CS!
Redbreast is so good it makes me forget about bourbon...at least for awhile.
The fact that it’s “bourbon night” makes this type of content much more interesting. It is pretty evident in your descriptions; you are using bourbon adjectives to describe an Irish whiskey, which I think is amazing. I would LOVE to watch an Islay (i.e. Laphroaig, Ardbeg, idk) tasting, I want to see you reactions.
"Cork pop with an Irish accent" - got the like
You can always change your name to:
It's Bourbon-ish Night
It's Bourbon+ Night
It Used to be Bourbon Night
It Isn't Just Bourbon Night
It's Bourbon NIGHT and Whisk(e)y DAY
It's Fill-Chiltered Night
I will still watch.
Love American Bourbon, but I also enjoy other Whisky. Redbreast is a go to for me when I want something different but still very good. Regular Redbreast at 80 proof is very tasty and an easy sipper. I'm looking forward to trying the cask strength.
Thank you for your video on this Irish whiskey. Very tasty.
Great stuff, love seeing you branch out. Great review from a bourbon drinker point of view.
Try the 15 yr next, a bit more expensive but delicious.
We liked this one a lot. I wasn't expecting it to be my cup of tea but I really enjoyed the red breast 12
Glad to see this video. I'm taking a bottle of this to a whiskey tasting next week. I've had % enjoyed the standard 12 yr and the Laustau edition, really looking forward to trying the cask strength. Irish is very different from bourbon due to the triple distilling and used barrels not to mention the different mash bill but plenty to enjoy. Paid $93.
15 year is probably my favorite. I like 21 year a lot as well, but for the price it is a rare treat. If you can go to Ireland they can be bought for roughly 1/2 the price of what they cost in the states, depending on the exchange rate.
Happy World Whiskey Day & Congratulations to you both on the milestone 501 episodes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you picked a really good Irish Whiskey to review - definitely in my top 20. Chad because you're a Bourbon drinker all the Irish people will forgive you for mispronouncing Sláinte 🥃 you were so close 😂😂😂 please keep up the great work 👍🏻
Would love to see what you two think if Glendronach single malt scotch. It’s a sherry bomb, but it’s the best sherry aged scotch in my opinion.
Been waiting for u both to review this. Love it!
This is my favorite bottle of 2021 so farzzz
Buttered suger cookie all the way
So glad you're opening up to Irish whiskey. Love to see your perspective on Teeling's distillation for the Palace Bar.
Blind melon cover band. NICE ONE. I like the new video switching it up and doing something that is pretty accessible for everyone. Try some powers gold label, my favorite budget Irish.
Red Breast 12 cask is one the best Irish whisky's I have had.
Cool, I've never seen those glass covers, nor understand their purpose. Is the point to get it out of the bottle and let it sit in glass but not allow to breath before sipping?
Glad to see that your reaching outside the box a bit reviewing something other then Bourbon 🥃. I’m actually slowly getting into some Scotches.
Great to hear your thoughts on one of my favourite whiskies in the world. Interesting to mention the burnt hair note that ex-sherry can sometimes bring. Thanks for sharing and hope you are enjoying World Whisky day. Cheers!
Love y'all! Red Breast Cask Strength is the bourbon lover's gateway to other whiskeys. It has some grain, so it is a little more bourbon-like in flavor, and the cask strength is a big plus. I relegate Irish mostly to St. Patrick's Day, which is too bad, because great Irish deserves more focus. If you get a chance, check out the Blue Spot, which is another cask strength, and even more bourbon-y. Hard to find right now and I imagine even more difficult in KY, but if you ask real nice, I might send y'all a sample.
As a bourbon drinker it is hard for me to justify the price tag on an Irish whiskey since I am never sure if I am going to love it or just find it okay. At that price point, I think I would rather experiment with the Jameson Caskmates or the Tullamore Dews that are finished with different casks.
Great video you two and refreshing to see an Irish pop up on your channel!
What's the point of "capping" your glass after the whiskey has been "capped" in the bottle for whatever length of time after it went from 12 years in a cask to a few months in the bottle?
Shocker. Sarah loves a barrel proof. PROOF HOUND!!!
Very nice to get your opinion on that one, thanks.
Hope you both get to do more international whiskies going forward. I drank this whiskey while listening to this review. Doing great. The world of whiskey is so much more vast than bourbon.
I’d also have it at brunch but to suggest it be mixed was way off. If you want melon try Yamazaki 12 year on the nose
It's Whiskey Night for a new name.
One of my favorite whiskeys! Cheers!
Great pickup. I love Redbreast products
Love the RB cask strength. Favorite Irish for me.
Good stuff. It's own category
So far in my whisk(e)y explorations, this is a very close second to my favorite. Despite having this bottle on my shelf, I'm drinking Laphroaig while watching this.
RB is good, Jameson is my go to Irish though 🥃
Good choice.
Sarah, a lot of sherry finishes and maturation do give rise to a sulfur compound smell. I have never gotten it from Red Breast, but if you are turned off by that note I would recommend staying away from Macallan, as I get that sulfur note on a lot of their bottlings.
Come day go day wishing me heart it was Sunday Drinking buttermilk all the week whiskey on a Sunday Drinking
I’m really excited for y’all to venture outside of bourbon territory. I would try redbreast lustau just for kicks and giggles
Great video! Pretty sure they’ve discontinued this to replace it with their no age statement small batch cask strength which doesn’t seem to get the same love. May want to stock up.
Good stuff
Redbreast and Green Spot
you should try the aberlour cask strength. all my bourbon friends enjoy the aberlour line of scotch as the notes are similar to many bourbons.
Congrats to 501!
Technically, y'all did "Black Box," which I believe... was Canadian??? Love that y'all are venturing out of your comfort zone. Cheers!
My favorite bottle!
This stuff is absolutely delicious
Luv vids I’m die hard bourbon junkie keep it up
It is about £80 in UK. I think that it is a bit expensive for the age statement.
Redbreast is always lovely, had the 12 and 15. My local store has the cask strength for 10 bucks more than the 12. Maybe it's time to finally pull the trigger and get a bottle.
Be careful because you may like 12CS better than 12 & 15. I certain do. Look out for Lustau version as well.
Ooooh, that's either a very good deal or they way overcharge for the 40%.
Congrats on 501st! I also get, why you use imperial units in the video. Happy imperial march everyone! Oh... Its may already... Well the 4th may work in mysterious ways.
I totally thought about the 501st when making this video.
Watching a video about Redbreast cask strength while Irish coffee with Redbreast 12 ;P
I could definitely see you two with and Irish accent.
So, now that you're out of America, I'm hearing that you're doing Ardbeg Supernova next. Definitely a great entry point into a nice, friendly scotch.
Ha!
Add a few drops of water. It opens hidden flavors in cask strength.
Love you Bro!
I love this stuff!
It's Irish Night!
You're not that far off, guys. For Irish Whiskey, it's a really good price, considering it's twelve years old and cask strength. Not a lot of Irish Whiskey's out there that do this. Example: Green Spot is $75 and it's NAS and only 40%. Yellow Spot is 12 years old at 46% and it's over $100.
Green Spot is $46 by me and yellow spot is $85…
Get it while you can. No solid confirmation but heavy rumors of this discontinuing.
This stuff is so damn good. $65 in California. Steal at that price for a 12yr cask strength imported spirit
That's what it costs for the regular 12 where I'm at.
Put that up against RedBreast 15. the 15yo is so different.
For me, it's the best Redbreast in the core range. The only downside is that it is a tad expensive. In the UK we're talking between £75-90 depending on retailer.
I love this whiskey!
This is my favorite.
Hope you guys continue to branch out into other types of whiskey a bit in addition to the great bourbon reviews.
I always get a buttery cookie note from redbreast. Maybe that's just me.
Not just you. Definitely there
An IRISH Whiskey! And it’s not even St. Patrick’s Day! If you like RB and want something similar in a Scotch, try a Tomatin Manzanilla Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch.
Correct me if I'm wrong but if it wasn't for us Irish you guys wouldn't even have whiskey🤔 but I have to admit I always seem to find myself grabbing a bourbon off the shelf before the Irish stuff just because of the lovely flavors🙄
Irish or Scottish, yes!
It is so strange because the last two videos you have done. I bought that exact bottle a week or so prior. If you are following me I am flattered.
Fun video. Keep doing what you guys do best. Don’t branch out 🙏🏾
501 episodes?! Amazing! Bourbon must be in your jeans!
If you have a chance to try the RB Small Batch Cask Strength (in the baby blue box) its well worth it. It's a limited release for the US Market only (as I understand it) and it really blew me away.
I heard it is “replacing” the 12 yr CS. Hope not, it’s younger (no age stated) and considerably more costly.
Whiskey CHEERS
Islay scotch review next plz and thx 😁
I'm drinking a Laphroaig while typing this. Cheers
@@wingracer1614 cheers!
It Irish night.
