Egan's Conviction is a blended Irish whiskey made from sourced single malt and single grain whiskeys, each aged at least 10 years in bourbon barrels. The blend is then married and finished in XO Cognac casks. It is non-chill filtered, bottled at 46% ABV and has a suggested retail price of $100.
The end result is a dark-gold hue and almond aromas. Look for palate-coating honey, golden raisin and dried-apricot flavors shot through with cigar smoke and espresso.
The whiskey is weak on the palate, sugar-forward, with some zesty notes of citrus. I didnt get much from the Cognac cask finish. The body is light, and I could have used a more distinctive flavor profile.
