Egan's Fortitude Whiskey

Beautifully balanced, chocolate and rich dried fruits and hints of smoke and lovely Sherry notes.

Not the best Irish out there. And for the price, there’s much better out there. Did open up after a drop of water...but meh...

My second tasting of Egan's new whiskies and although better than the vintage grain (just) this still feels like a young malt spirit hiding behind not the best quality sherry cask, like craving a Cadbury fruit and nut chocolate bar and getting the cheap Aldi rip off instead. I feel sorry for the person who paid $40 and the review stating it was "easily the most flavorful whisky" they had ever tried. Maybe they should try even the most level entry offering from Glendronach or Glenfarclas to get some real Sherry cask FLAVOUR.

Bought a bottle yesterday at $40.00 USD.

Sincerely unique whiskey. When drunk straight, is not gentle at first. Surely harsher than comparable Irish whiskey like Jameson. However, the aftertaste is superbly flavorful. However, the flavor has such varied taste I can't pin down a single flavor. It's not exceptionally smooth or mellow, this is definitely for those who can taste a challenging whiskey. But in my eyes the overall taste is superb, the "buzz" is pleasant, and the next morning is easy. This is a finely crafted whiskey, and I hope to enjoy it several more times.
