Redbreast
Redbreast traces its roots to W & A Gilbey, the wine and spirits merchant that began selling Jameson whiskey under its own labels in the late 19th century. The first official use of the Redbreast name appears in 1912, when Gilbey’s was selling Redbreast J.J. Liqueur Whiskey 12 Years Old. The name itself is linked to the robin redbreast and is attributed to a former Gilbey chairman who was known as a bird-fancier.
