Ready for battle: Is this Irish whiskey collection Redbreast’s only real challenger?

This single malt collection is suddenly feeling very complete and ready to bring fans back to the north of this most famous whiskey island

Anyone in power will attest that when you hold the throne, you best watch your back – your successor is always plotting to topple you. And so it is with Irish whiskey. Redbreast has long held a prime position in Ireland, and its single pot still collection has been almost impossible to beat.

Year after year, its quality, multi-aged statements and ever more diverse cask types have won legions of fans. While there are lots of great Irish brands with their eyes firmly focused on Redbreast’s prestigious position – Teeling, The Irishman, Drumshanbo – few have matched the scale and quality components that Redbreast commands.
