Description
An interesting bottle, to say the least, the bottle is a BLUE glass bottle, unlike the green we often see from bottles of this age.
The bottle was manufactured by Irish Glass Bottlers which formed in 1932, the label and style of cork place this bottle to be made between 1935-1940.
The blueish glass appears to be from around the time period and it's sealed with a driven cork, other Gilbeys products would have been sealed with wooden corks in the 1940s, again another indication of its age.
Likely to be bottled at 43% possibly chill haze at lower ABV.
This is an Irish whiskey historical premium whiskey which is rare.
High shoulder fill level with some damage to the label, however, this is to be expected from a bottle that is over 85 years old.

Redbreast
As Redbreast whiskey has had many different incarnations over the years it deserves a category of its own. The original Redbreast whiskey began as a bonded finished whiskey by the Gilbey wine and spirits company. They continued to produce these excellent examples of pure pot still whiskey up until they sold the brand to IDL in 1986. Since then IDL have continued the tradition of Redbreast whiskeys and won accolades for their 12, 15 and 21 year old bottlings. Today it is a highly collectable whiskey with various bottles of their 12 year old the mainstay of most collections. In recent years they have released some Limited edition specials that are now commanding a great following and prices. Their latest, the 32 year old “Dream Cask” was one of the highlights of 2018 with it selling out almost immediately upon release.
