1. Cheese and charcuterie: Elevate your Christmas cheese and charcuterie board with some Redbreast 12 Year Old. A rich creamy cheese like Crozier Blue spread onto a grain cracker pairs beautifully with Redbreast. The soft sweetness and spice of the whiskey are balanced perfectly with the salty, earthy strengths of the cheese.

2. Parma ham and olives: Parma ham has a nutty character that brings out the oloroso sherry notes in Redbreast 12 Year Old – a combo best enjoyed with some Nicoise olives as a late afternoon aperitivo.

3. Dessert: Luxurious desserts like sticky toffee pudding and chocolate mousse can be taken to the next level when enjoyed alongside a Redbreast. The Christmas spices in Redbreast 12 Year Old and 15 Year Old are a delicious counterpart to the confectionery sweetness.
