Redbreast 21 Year Old
Nose: Sherry
soaked sultanas, stewed prunes, grilled pineapple, ripe bananas, toffee apples,
pink marshmallows, Ashbury strawberry cream chocolates, sugared almonds, mixed
spice, orange oil, sweet oak and a binding and balancing wave-ette of wood
varnish.
Palate: Vanilla
danish pastries, pineapple upside down cake, hot buttered granary toast, Bonne
Maman damson plum conserve, a can of Lilt, bramley apples, honeydew melon, gooseberries,
caramelized bananas, Cadbury chocolate eclairs, sugared almonds, wood spice,
cloves and a forest pine-esque freshness.
Finish: A full
on fruit fest of a long, lush, lingering finish.
Summary: Well
I know what I want to be drinking this Christmas. Back in 2011
Redbreast’s release of their 12 Year Old Cask Strength was undoubtedly my whisky of the year, and thanks to this dramspanking dramming ditty they’re most definitely contenders for 2013!
