In addition, three bottles with their own cask finish (Lustau sherry, pedro ximénez and moscatel) and the twelve-year-old at cask strength. Not sure which one you need? Give us a call. That is what we are here for.

A name from 1912
- Redbreast in four facts
- 1912The wine house Gilbey uses the name Redbreast for the first time.
- 1971Bow Street in Dublin closes; production moves to County Cork.
- 1985Gilbey stops; a year later Irish Distillers buys the name.
- 1991Redbreast returns to the market.
The name Redbreast appears in 1912 at the London wine house Gilbey, which had had a branch in Dublin since 1861. The chairman was a keen birdwatcher and named the whiskey after the robin. The distillate came from Jameson at Bow Street in Dublin; Gilbey had it mature in its own sherry casks.
In 1971 Bow Street closed and production moved to County Cork. Gilbey stopped in 1985 and Irish Distillers bought the name a year later. In 1991 Redbreast returned to the market. Since then it has come from the New Midleton distillery in County Cork.
Single pot still means that the mash consists of malted and unmalted barley and that distilling takes place in copper pot stills. That unmalted barley gives the oily, slightly spicy structure by which you recognise the style. Outside Ireland it is hardly found at all.
Unmalted barley in the mash: that is what sets single pot still apart from single malt.
Three cask finishes
The same single pot still, three kinds of fortified wine.

Frequently asked questions about Redbreast
How much Redbreast does ’t Bockje have in stock?
Ten different bottles, from the twelve-year-old to a twenty-seven-year-old. All ten are available at the moment.
What is single pot still?
An Irish style in which the mash consists of malted and unmalted barley and distillation takes place in copper pot stills. The unmalted barley gives an oily, slightly spicy texture. Outside Ireland the style is almost non-existent.
Where is Redbreast made?
At the New Midleton distillery in County Cork, by Irish Distillers. Until 1971 the Jameson distillate came from Bow Street in Dublin.
Where does the name come from?
Named after the robin. The wine house Gilbey first used the name in 1912; the chairman was a keen birdwatcher.
What is the Bird Feeder Bottle?
A twelve-year-old whose packaging can be used afterwards as a bird feeder house in the garden. Redbreast does this together with BirdLife International.
