This was our 2nd taster of the guided tasting with Joe Duffy. The Redbreast 12 is one of their core offerings and is usually available at most LCBO’s. It is a solid dram at a decent price point for Irish Whiskey. One the nose you get lots of red fruit, plum and cherries came to my mind, along with hints of apple, raisins, wood and nuts. Upon tasting it comes across as a very sherry forward taste, with hints of sweet fruit and dark chocolate. The finish is super smooth, not much length to it, and finishes quickly. The Redbreast 12 is an easy drinker, best enjoyed amongst friends.

Green Spot Single Pot Still Whiskey
The first taster in our evening with Joe Duffy brought us Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. The nose was very sweet with hints of green apple, bourbon and honey. It had great texture and mouthfeel with flavours of toffee, floral notes, and apples. A robust feel on the tongue, with a warm smooth finish that lasted a bit, but not too long. A great way to start what became an amazing evening of whiskey, learning and sharing with friends.
