New notes on a 2018 bottle of REDBREAST 12 YEAR. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this Irish classic in a release from its previous label era. Sláinte! It’s been a minute since I’ve had a McKenzie Rye Single Barrel. The last one was aged ~5 years and was a wild ride. This latest is aged 9 years and I’m hoping age hasn’t tamed its rambunctiousness. Cheers! I will miss this smoky caramel rascal of a whisky from mighty little Edradour Distillery’s peated Ballechin line. Such a good dram. Sláinte!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
