It grabs your taste buds and just doesn't let go.
Produced in The Midleton distilleries situated in Midleton, Cork County, this is a "pure pot still" Whiskey or "single pot still" as it's now officially known. It is made in a different way than single malt because the mash is made from both malted and un-malted "green" barley. The enzymes in the malted barley stimulate the production of malt in the un-malted barley. Also, single malt Whiskeys are generally distilled twice, whereas single pot still Whiskeys are generally distilled three times.
Redbreast is one of the few single pot still Whiskeys produced today and is the only one with an age statement. 15 Year Old is matured in a combination of American Bourbon Whiskey barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks.

Poteen is a Whiskey made from potatoes, or in other words: it's Irish Vodka.
Whiskey producers lose on average about 2% of their stock a year to angels' share. For Jameson, the biggest one of the Irish Whiskey brands, it means 29 thousand bottles going into the air (literally) every day!
Irish Coffee recipe: 1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3-4 tablespoons Irish Whiskey, heavy cream - slightly whipped.
The largest pot still in Midleton Distillery is now situated in the front yard of the distillery.
Irish Whiskey has many varieties: grain Whiskey, malted barley pot-still-distilled, and ‘pure pot-still’ (or ‘single pot still’ as it is now officially known). Then there is Poitin, one of the first Spirits ever made.
William Grant's Tullamore D.E.W. is also produced at New Midleton Distillery.
