Master of Malt's Redbreast 16 Year Old

Irish Whiskey from the Midleton Distillery

Master of Malt, founded in 1985, are a fantastic retailer and independent bottler based in the UK.

Gilbeys was a wine and spirit merchant located in Dublin. Along with several other wine and spirit merchants of the time, they sent their empty casks to the Jameson distillery to be filled with new make pure Irish pot still spirit. Redbreast was one of Gilbey's brands and launched in 1939. The brand died off with the closure of Jameson's distillery in the 1970s but was recently relaunched and has re-established itself as one of Ireland's premiere Irish pot still brands.
