Christmas can always come late!
This is great news the RB12 is a very unique whiskey and always has a spot on my shelf.
Any word as to what proof this will be bottled at?
Well I hope at what ever strength proof comes out from each cask dumped together hence the tag "cask strength"... but I get your question if your thinking of something like Rare Breed which says it is barrel proof but how do they get all the dumps to come out to 108.2 proof (at least for the 03RB version). I don't know what proof Redbreast or other Irish goes into the barrel which may give a clue as to what proof it will come out but maybe some of the Irish whiskey experts here know more about that and what expected proof range it should be.

Saw this mentioned on Hansell's FB post. I'm mighty stoked about this myself, as the kids say.
According to Shanken News Daily, Redbreast 12 CS will
"...be available in February, priced at around $65 a 750-ml."

Now everybody go get yourself a bottle. It is worthy of the hype. I get more citrus and grapefruit than plum and red berry that Dominic Roskrow found but but maybe that will change upon second tasting tonight.

It is in Pa. I think Binnys does too. I am going to check locally today!
