Irish Whiskey Magazine - Teeling Revival Batch V

Egan’s Centenary

A limited edition (5,995 bottles) blend of single malt and single grain Irish whiskey that was initially matured in ex-Bourbon casks before being finished in XO Cognac French Limousin oak casks. Bottled at 46% ABV and RRP of €100.

Omar Fitzell Notes

Nose

Light, floral and fruity. Oceans of vanilla. Pear and apple mostly.

Palate

Very light mouthfeel. Toffee and some milk chocolate with a very very slight mouth drying.

Finish

Short to medium finish that reveals a nice coconut note at the end.

Overall

While it offers no complexity, this is an easy going, easy to drink whiskey. Most of the flavours are soft and mellow making them hard to make out but I wouldn’t say no to a second dram to be honest!

 

Al Higgins notes

Nose

Delicate, light and grainy. Aromas of orchard fruits, vanilla and white grapes.

Palate

Crisp, juicy and light in body. Simple and focused, obviously grain heavy. Flavours of apples, pears, quince, vanilla, honey and toasty oak.

Finish

The French oak becomes more prominent with a light sprinkling of black pepper, toast and white grapes.

Overall

Pleasant, refined and easy to drink. This is decent stuff, but the price tag is a little on the high side.
