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.
