The red-billed leiothrix ( Leiothrix lutea) is sometimes named the "Pekin robin" by aviculturalists. Robins may survive for just 13 months on average, but birds that overcome the hurdle of fledging and growing to maturity have a much greater chance of a long life.

The Jameson and Powers distilleries on Bow Street and John's Lane respectively, may have closed but single pot still remained central to Irish Distillers' plans and their new state-of-the-art distillery built at Midleton. Redbreast is a rich, spicy single pot still Irish whiskey matured exclusively in first-fill Sherry and bourbon casks, and this fantastic 21 year old is no exception. The blood from his wounds stained the robin's breast, and thereafter all robins carry the mark of Christ's blood upon them. The robin is diurnal, although it has been reported to be active hunting insects on moonlit nights or near artificial light at night.

Despite the controversy which surrounds both of these processes, this whiskey is impeccably clear, delivering a beautiful, rich colour that is equally inviting and enthralling. The little robin illustration is enough to bring a smile to anyone’s face – and that’s before they’ve even drank it.Having two men wield their considerable power to try to maneuver unwilling women into their beds also seems a bit much.
