Redbreast PX Edition (750ml)

Description

Redbreast was originally bottled by Gilbey's, a Dublin spirits merchant whose distillery was located on Jameson's Bow Street until the mid 1800s until W&A Gilbey was founded in London in 1857 and  O'Connell Street in Dublin in 1861. From then on, they grew their whiskey brand, crafting  into what is now known as the the forerunner of Redbreast: J.J. Liqueur Whiskey 12 Year Old. In 1968 the whiskey changed its appearance to a bottling that appears similar to the contemporary Redbreast as we know it today. After their official rebranding in 1991, Irish Distillers, known for the ever popular Jameson, Redbreast came into their own and has gone on to create over six varieties with more originals to come!
