About Redbreast Family Collection Tri-Pack
In 1857, W&A Gilbey Co. was founded in a basement cellar at the corner of Oxford Street and Berwick in London. By the turn of the century, the company — a wine and spirits merchant — held one of the largest stocks of maturing whiskey in its inventory, and had expanded to Dublin, Belfast and Edinburgh. In 1912, Gilbeys began selling a 12 year old whiskey named Redbreast. The name was a reference to the Robin Redbreast (a type of bird) and is attributed to the Chairman of Gilberys, who was an avid ornithologist.
Single Pot Still Irish whiskey is a signature style unique to Ireland, particularily to the Midleton Distillery, Co. Cork. It is regarded as the quintessential style of Irish whiskey. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills. Pot Still whiskeys are characterized by full, complex flavors and a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel.
Introducing a special tri-pack of Redbreast 12YO (80 proof), 15YO (92 proof), and Lustau (92 proof). Redbreast 12 YO packs the bold flavor complexity and unique qualities of a Pot Still Irish whiskey. Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, this Redbreast sherry style is a delicious joy to behold in every drop.

About Irish Whiskey
Contrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.
Its origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.
Irish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.
