Redbreast is the world's leading single pot still Irish whiskey brand, with roots stretching back to the 19th century. The story begins with W&A Gilbey, a wine and spirits importer founded in Dublin in 1857, which sourced, aged, and bottled the whiskey at the Jameson distillery. The name 'Redbreast' was inspired by the robin redbreast bird, with the first official reference to the brand appearing in August 1912, when Gilbeys were selling 'Redbreast J.J. Liqueur Whiskey 12 Years Old'. Since 1988, Redbreast has been part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio and is produced under Irish Distillers. What sets Redbreast apart is its unwavering commitment to the traditional single pot still style — a method nearly unique in modern Irish whiskey production. Unlike many of its peers, Redbreast is made entirely in old-fashioned pot stills without the addition of grain whiskey, resulting in a rich, full-bodied and complex spirit. The range spans several expressions, with the iconic 12 Year Old serving as its flagship, loved worldwide for its depth of fruit, spice and creamy texture. Often described as 'pot still perfection', Redbreast has earned a revered reputation among whiskey enthusiasts and critics alike. It stands as a benchmark for the single pot still category and a proud ambassador of Ireland's rich distilling heritage.
