Among the many independent Irish single malts that I’ve tried the past few years, there have been a lot of 1988 and 1991 casks but only one 1989 so far. Now there are two more.
One is a brand-new bottling from The Whisky Agency , a joint bottling with Eiling Lim . The other one is from the outstanding Emerald Isle series from Speciality Drinks / The Whisky Exchange. Highly respected bottlers – this should be interesting!
Irish single malt 27 yo 1989 (45%, The Whisky Agency & Eiling Lim 2016, barrel, 177 btl.)
Nose: classic Limerick style....
