Redbreast is one of the most highly regarded Irish whiskeys, widely considered the foremost example of the traditional single-pot-still style.
The first official mention of Redbreast can be found in 1912, when merchant Gilbey’s sold “Redbreast JJ Liqueur Whiskey 12 Year Old”. It is known an early iteration of Redbreast was being produced many years before as John Jameson whiskey in the 19th and 20th century Irish whiskey bonding business model.
