Egan’s Vintage Grain 0,7L (46% Vol.)

Egan’s Vintage Grain

Casked in American oak bourbon barrels for a minimum of eight years, this single grain Irish Whiskey was meticulously hand-selected by Jonathan V. Egan, the sixth generation of a family with whiskey in their blood. A truly unique Irish Whiskey expression, Egan’s Vintage Grain’s lighter style compares very favourably to its heavier Pot Still and Single Malt cousins. 46% ABV, 92 Proof.

TASTING NOTES

Nose ‒ Vanilla, oak fudge, and caramel notes.
Mouth ‒ Charming sweetness and smooth vanilla, with a subtle hint of spice.
Linger‒ Long, gentle and gaining in warmth.

"I’m not sure there is a softer nose on the market: your proboscis is kissed, stroked and coddled by a vaguely green and youthful sweetness. Nice biscuits, perhaps with a sugary coconut element plus natural caramels;. Not sure if the silk traders out of China will have ever have found anything silkier than this. Melts in the mouth with a mix of Demerara and icing sugars plus light spices to remind you of the oak; a light oak bitterness interjects into the juicy proceedings; such a beautiful whiskey. Don’t be put off by the fact this is grain: this is exceptionally high grade Irish".
– JIM MURRAY’S WHISKY BIBLE 2019

"The aromatics are beautifully perfumed with layers of vanilla, salted caramel, and blanched almonds with accents of allspice and brown butter. The palate echoes the nose delivering a rich caramel and vanilla focused core with flanking notes of oak and brown baking spices that finishes dry. This is our new favourite Irish Grain Whiskey".
