Limavady Single Barrel Single Malt Irish Whiskey Review

I picked up this Limavady Single Barrel Single Malt Irish Whiskey at Trader Joe’s because of the bottle shape: it was so weird. I’d never heard of the brand and almost left it there, but curiosity won out and I picked it up. It wasn’t till I got home I discovered it was imported by […]

Limavady Single Barrel Single Malt Irish Whiskey Review

I’m not the biggest fan of Whistle Pig, but I thought it was interesting they were getting into the import business. Well, technically they’ve been in the import business for a while – importing Canadian rye and bottling it in Vermont – but interesting they’re just doing the importing. The distilling and bottling is all happening in Ireland.

Now, let’s get to drinkin’!

Limavady Single Barrel Single Malt Irish Whiskey Tasting Notes

EYE
Light Amber

NOSE
Banana taffy, malty sweetness, vanilla candy, graham, dried apples, touch waxy and floral.

Fairly standard aroma without anything sharp or off.

PALATE
Banana taffy, malty sweetness, vanilla candy, graham, dried apples, touch waxy and caramel.

Not too different from aroma and again a fairly standard delivery.

FINISH
Medium -> Banana, vanilla, baking spice and graham.

BALANCE, BODY and FEEL
Decent balance, light body and a soft light feel.

Limavady Single Barrel Single Malt Irish Whiskey – Overall Thoughts and Score

Soft, slightly buttery and increadibly easy to sip. I thought the odd shaped bottle might make pouring awkward, but it actually made it a bit easier and I love those glass “corks”.

The aroma builds in sweetness as it opens but the palate builds in maltiness. It’s perfectly sippable and makes a great cocktail, like a Tipperary, if you ever want one. Well done Limavady on bringing something interesting to market.

SCORE: 3/5 (above average, worth checking out ~ B- | 80-82)

Kentucky Owl St. Patrick’s Limited Edition Review

Blended by Irish Whiskey maker Louise McGuane of J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey, the Kentucky Owl St. Patrick’s Limited Edition is a celebration of Irish and Kentucky whiskey traditions… or something like that. The whiskey itself is a blend of 4-11 yo Bourbon that was co-blended by Kentucky Owl’s John Rhea and the aforementioned Louise. An […]

Kentucky Owl St. Paddy's Edition Review

A few years ago I reviewed the John L. Sullivan Irish Bourbon, a brand that only lasted one year on the market because its label was not TTB compliant despite having passed through TTB approval (happens all the time). The Sullivan was a blend of Irish Single Malt and Bourbon and it was actually quite good. Which is exactly what I’m wondering about with this KO: is it any good?
