The whisky club makes it easy to explore the world of exceptional drams without the need for endless hunting and wasted money. Every whisky is picked for its outstanding quality and flavour, so you always get something great! The Redbreast 10 was an absolute banger, and it was great to have a distillery exclusive delivered to my door at such a great price!!
The Redbreast is true to form. Sweet, easy to drink and leaves a lingering taste long after the glass is empty. The taste lasts longer than the empty glass does.
This is a great whisky,I love a whisky that takes you on a journey.It changed ,On the nose ,every few minutes you let it sit..going to be a challenge to beat that one this year..but I will be up for the challenge

This bottle was absolutely superb. I am starting become a Redbreast fan.
Absolutely delicious drop, first time buying will be doing the double up next time.
Redbreast never fails to impress! Glad I opted in last month!
"Fruity", "Creamy" and "Oaky"? Nah nah more like SPICY, BUTTERY and sublimely OILY! My tingling tantalized taste buds feel more spoilt than the Olsen twins and pampered like the Kardashians at their own Disney premier! I took trip to taste heaven with a side trip to paradise. To think time has been kind to this geriatric trio is an understatement. Grazie Mille Seamus, Bertie and the brilliant team at TWC!
Delicious! Had this on my birthday with some Messina tiramisu – the match did not dissapoint! Show reply
I submit this review in memory of my good mate Martin, 1958 - 2023. Glenmorangie was his favourite whiskey. Rich caramel colour Warm sweet bouquet Taste of honey, lingering fruits, tropical, mildly burnt toffee aftertaste that filters across the palate. Not to be wasted on spirit and mixture drinkers.
The Whisky Club is an incredible way to explore the history rich world of the world’s greatest liquid.
Clear communication and a decent range of single malts to choose from Show details
Coming up on my one year anniversary with the Whisky Club. It's a great way to try whiskys you would never have a chance too. Share a dram with friends or family or just by yourself. Or just collect to have a very special collection

I haven’t been with the Whiskey Club for very long but so far it has been a great experience and very good value for money. I would truely recommend it for any whiskey lover. I can’t seem to get through a whole bottle a month so I love that I can opt out when I need to to give myself more time to enjoy the bottles I have on hand.
This is a club I thoroughly enjoy being a member of
While my shelves groan at times, I look forward to each month's selection and enjoy backtracking through my collection. The variety brings something for every mood, occasion and pairing. Keep up the great work!
Still a member after all of these years, and still amazed at the access to such world class Whisky! Can’t wait to see what they have in store for us in 2026..
Love the club, I doubt i will ever leave, its awesome. Show reply

The whisky Club delivers every time each month with such amazing whiskies that I find myself unable to consider… Read more · 1
opting out for the month, and over the years I have built up an impressive collection of world class whiskies, as well drank some along the way. Thank you and well done whisky Club.

The Whisky Club really is something special. The chance to grab a 40 year old whisky at a price that feels remotely reasonable is pretty mind blowing. Experiences like this are why I stay subscribed. That said, while the Girvan 40 Year Old was undeniably good, it did not quite reach the heights I had built up in my head. That is probably on me. I… Read more
tend to lean heavily toward sherry and port cask finishes, and The Whisky Club has been absolutely spoiling us in that department lately. I think I was hoping this would be one of those once in a lifetime, unforgettable pours.
I was lucky enough to pick up two out of the three releases, the “Fruity” and the “Oaky" bottles. Both leaned strongly into citrus, sea spray, seaweed, and a salty, slightly punchy alcohol presence. Classic ex-bourbon barrel territory, really. What I personally missed was that buttery, caramel, banana pudding sweetness that I gravitate toward. Instead, these offered more citrus zest, coastal salinity, and a touch of umami character. Of the two, the “Oaky” expression was easily my favourite. I suspected that might be the case going in, and it delivered a bit more depth and structure for my palate. Still, I think a part of me was quietly hoping that 40 years in the cask would have produced something a little more unexpected or transformative. To be clear, both bottles are very drinkable and genuinely unique within my collection. There is something undeniably special about pouring a dram that has been resting for four decades. Were they worth the price? For the experience alone, absolutely. Would I buy them again? Probably not. At even half this price point there are some truly outstanding whiskies available (even from the whisky club), even if they do not carry that impressive age statement.
The results can be varied with Whisky Club releases. I can only imagine the difficulties that can exist between negotiation, procurement, and distribution to a large cohort trying to get consistency. The latest offering, the 2012 Bushmills, is a… Read more
simple and middling expression. Disappointing given it is the christmas release. The initial nose is malt heavy with some subtle other notes reminiscent of Christmas spices, with a dusty note as well. After necking the bottle and giving some time to breath, re-engaging with the liquid there a more pronounced marmalade note, but some very bright alcohol notes too.
Initial palate had marmalade, sweetness as a general flavour, like hard candy without other flavours, medium length finish. Revisiting with a dram after air for a week yielded similar notes as were there in the original. Maybe a bit more spice, definitely more white pepper.
I wish it was more. If you like light cask influence and a spicy, malt forward, drop, this is going to hit well. If you wanted more cask influence to tickle the Christmas notes of classic bottles from previous releases (that are more than likely impossible to reproduce) then you will be left lacking. Easy enough to drink, just not great enough for me when Cut Hill Wall, MVD, Iniquity, and a ton of other local players are producing barrels of far superior flavours with little price difference.
Follow-up · Follow up answers to questions: The packaging was ok. The cardboard that TWC packages their bottles in is usually sufficient. Occasionally there is somw cosmetic damage. The whiaky came in its own packaging inside TWC packaging but the bottle inside that had some minor label damage. Many of the other whisky clubs are similar, just not as many… Read more
I've been a member of The Whisky Club in Australia for a decade now - since December 2015 - and it's been fantastic! As a fan of single malt scotch whisky since the late 1970s (back when it was 'pure malt' scotch), the Club has given me the opportunity to try some lovely whiskies over the last 10 years. The attached photo is of the December 2025… Read more · 1
offering, which I recently received but have not yet opened (and am very much looking forward to it!). I've never had an issue with payment, packaging or delivery from the Club. There's a new whisky every month:- I receive an email to remind me, and if I want it, I need do nothing more. If I don't want it - for whatever reason - I go into my account on-line and tick the appropriate "no" box. No pressure; no guilt; no obligation. I can double-up on a bottle (depending on the rarity of supply) if I want or choose another offer. I've introduced like-minded friends to the Club and been rewarded for my loyalty; joined in some exclusive video tastings; and had some on-line banter with Club officials (I'm looking at you Bertie!) and other members. It's been a rewarding experience, which I recommend to others.

I found Lark French Oak Single Cask is the whisky I would reach for when I want to slow down. Warming, smooth and generous, it turns an ordinary evening into something quietly special. Gentle notes of honey, vanilla and soft oak drift through, with a hint of spice, adding enjoyment without demanding attention. First dram poured with a small ice… Read more
breaker, lights low, the day behind me, reminding me why sharing good whisky (or keeping it to myself) feels like a small luxury worth savouring.
I'm a fan of Irish Whisky and the Redbreast is a champion. I love swooshing it around in my mouth and absorbing the flavours into my cheeks to create a warm and comforting glow. Its so smooth and the after palate is a delight
I actually bought the Redbreast as a surprise birthday present for my dad, which is not until May. So the bottle needs to remain sealed until then. I know that he will be super excited when he sees it and his new whiskey glass
I fell in love with Redbreast when the Whisky Club released the PX cask last year. It was what I voted for as whisky of the year, and so did a lot of others. The 10 year is almost as wonderful, with that Irish profile for days. What's not to like?
I have been enjoying the Redbreast 10 year old this past week. I find the selections you send are always a revealing taste, I really enjoy and would not have bought myself, even if I did come across it. Going beyond the normal offerings in a shop is a discovery I enjoy. Thank you for the diligent and exciting offerings you send me. Cheers, Andrew
