Anyone who is a regular reader of this email or a patron at our bar knows the story of Red Breast. When it splashed onto the American market a few years back, it was the only pot-stilled Irish whiskey available in the USA. It was, universally acclaimed as spectacular and an instant favorite here.
You may not know that the fine folks at Red Breast have since released several iterations under the Red Breast label. The original bottling was a 12 year old. Then came the 15 year old. Most recently we've acquired a Red Breast 15 Year "Cask Strength." Most whisky (indeed most spirits) come out of the barrel at a very high proof, and are rectified down with water. The Cask Strength skips that step, creating a wholly different and more intense expression of the spirit.
Thursday, we will pour .5 ounce of each whiskey, side-by-side, so that you can enjoy, compare and enhance your knowledge of Irish whiskey in general and one of the most exciting brands of this most exciting category.
We will open one bottle of each at 6:30 precisely. When they're gone, they're gone.
