To all appearances, this is a 15yo Redbreast. As far as I can recall from the only bottle I´ve had, it reminded me of Redbreast 12yo with a little more polished wood. I love Redbreast so obviously I was quite enamoured with this one, as well.

Incidentally, I also have an unopened bottle of this one (the Millenium, that is). About a year ago, the state-controlled Swedish outlets, for some inexplicable reason, suddenly stocked it at the regular price. This was after the prices had started to skyrocket on E-bay and similar places. It was only a couple of bottles, though, but I managed to lay my hands on one of them, for which I am very grateful.

P.S if you have tried the current "official" Redbreast 15yo, please note that there aren´t any overt similarities with the Millenium. The former is a much heavier proposition.

I think it's well worth opening. It has less sherry than the Redbreasts, and it was made to taste a bit more like old-style pure pot still, in that a wider cut of the distillate was taken. There's some quite heavy pot still in it.

It was quite a while since I had my bottle (2001, perhaps) but I remember it as pretty lightweight and with Sherry tones, not as much as Redbreast, maybe, but definitely more so than Green Spot.

What I remember clearly, is that I had severe difficulties in distinguishing Millenium from RB 12, judging by the nose alone. Maybe that says more about my amateurishness than the differences between these brands?

Hedmans Brorsa!

Thank you for your advise...that is helpful..

nothing wrong with being Amateaur"ish",and i do not think you are.

The experts are just usualy better at explaining the tastes and flavors they experience. It takes 10 years to become an expert in any field of knowledge or proffession. Training makes perfection....lol....does that make me a proffessional drinker or just a drunk? ha ha
