Day 11... Hump Day! Today we have what might be my favorite Irish Whiskey, Redbreast 12 Year Single Pot Still Cask Strength, coming in at 57.2% ABV. I really like Redbreast 12, but the Cask Strength is better overall and much more interesting. I reviewed this last year - and the bottle survived until now. There's a bit left, but not much (:
My review from last year: The Cask Strength Edition is more interesting (than Redbreast 12 Year) - good flavor, and you can choose just how strong you want it to be by adding water/ice as needed. Straight you want to take small sips to be sure - but there is some nice spice, sweet, body, and richness. There is the cask strength burn though. Adding a splash of water does mellow things out a bit but does also bring out the spice to the front. Overall very good - I would want this as a permanent fixture on the liquor shelf. 4.0/5.0
