Back with Redbreast 12 review. For Irish, I've had only regular Tully, regular Jameson, and Bushmills Prohibition. None of those were worth re-purchasing to me, so I decided to take the step up to what most people recommend. The nose has butter, a brighter red wine, typical vanilla and honey, and your baking spices like nutmeg. Palate has fresh, warm bread with more of that butter. It also has apple, so I get reminded of those Pillsbury croissant things where you get the tube and bake them. But my dad had put slices of apple in them before baking. Other dried fruits are here like apricot. More vanilla, and a toasty and nutty taste. The mouthful, despite being 80 proof, is pretty creamy and not at all thin like some others. Retronasal I get more nuttiness, like toasted nuts that you can smell at that Sabor a Espana in some cities in Spain. Finish has a lot of the sherry, but also now dates, some caramel, vanilla. And the finish lasts a while too. So far, this is obviously the best Irish I've had. My quest is to taste as many things as possible, so I'll get other things next, but this was terribly good.
