I'll be attending an event in a couple of weeks with a full deconstruction of the components in the 18 year old. And I agree that the pricing has been a bit wild out of IDL lately!
I saw this was being released a week ago and literally saw it on the shelf two days ago @ 250. I didn’t buy because I wanted to see what you had to say first haha! Great review! Thanks for the honesty, Sláinte! My favorite Redbreast (and quite possibly favorite all-time whiskey) is Redbreast 21.
I had to buy the 18. Only had one poor, but I was a bit disappointed. Hope that changes. Strangely it’s much cheaper here in Norway, but I love the 15. If I should rank my Redbreast bottles… 15, 18, Lustau, 12CS. But for the price, Lustau is fabulous. By biggest issue with the 18 is the finish. I expected it to be loooong.
I agree, it ok. It’s not a bad whiskey but it’s not anything spectacular either. I don’t regret it but I don’t think it’s worth more than the msrp and I’ve seen it for $250-$300
Cheers Stacie much appreitiated, hope you had a great time.

Wow! That will be interesting. I think some components will stand out more than others
Appreciate the review. My bar is supposed to be getting this in. Can’t wait to try. 🥃
Trying it at a bar first is a great idea!
Great review!! I had no idea they made an 18!!!
Thanks! Redbreast 18 just released in September, it’ll be in every state eventually

Thanks! The 18 is not as good as the 21 but it’s a decent Redbreast. This review was tough, it’s not bad at all but it doesn’t blow me away
Great Review/Comparison!
Cheers Stacie 🥃🥃
Thanks Joe!
