Released in 2021, this is volume IV of the Egan’s Legacy Reserve series. It’s aged for 17 years in ex-Bourbon barrels before a further year of maturation in Moscatel De Valencia casks. Each volume release gets a year older than the last, and each release is limited to 1000 bottles.I got a sample of this year’s release by way of the Celtic Whiskey Club.
The nose is a little muted, but I guess there isn’t much in the sample. ‘Not brash or overpowering’ would be another way to put it. Leather, blackberry, orange. Bodes well.
Mmmm! Rich, nutty taste that develops into an eruption of delicious fruitiness – hard to pick out what. The finish is a warm and long spiciness with a slightly tannic taper. This is hella nice!
What’s nicer is that as part of the Celtic Whiskey Club.tasting session I was lucky enough to bag a bottle as a prize. Whoop!
