Only 5995 bottles available worldwide.Egan’s Centenary Limited Edition Irish Whiskey Tasting NotesNose: Butterscotch and grain come through on the aroma of Egan’s Centenary.Palate: Palate is bright, citrusy, and easy to drink. There’s a hint of vanilla, and a subtle almond note as well. It’s light-bodied, as one might expect from an Irish blend, but one might also anticipate a little more oomph from one finished in ex-cognac XO barrels and selling at a premium.Finish: Long and rich.Distillery InformationEgan Distillery will be situated in Tullamore Co Offall.
