Rarely does a drink end up in a bracket more concerned with the icons, heroes and legends of a country. Rarely, yes, but never? Not quite.
Legend is a term all-too loosely attributed these days, but to Redbreast, it’s perhaps the only title that fits. It’s one of those rare drinks whose story, history and future still enthrals millions around the globe to this day, even over a century since it was first distilled.

It’s no lie to say it is one of the most historically significant and decorated Irish drinks, let alone whiskeys. Introduced at the turn of the 20th Century by wine and spirit merchants the Gilbeys, this flavoursome, spiced drink is to some the liquid embodiment of that legendary Irish spirit. It’s strong and full of flavour, yet retains the effortless charm that’s synonymous with the Emerald Isle.
