Limavady Single Barrel (0039), 46%

Price: 50 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Malt

This sourced single malt is triple-distilled from 100% malted Irish barley, matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, and finished in Pedro Ximénez casks, delivering a lusciously sweet combination of barley sugar, butterscotch, candied orange peel, and pepperiness. Now working in partnership with WhistlePig, Limavady master distiller Darryl McNally was formerly a distiller at Bushmills and Dublin Liberties Distilleries. No.-8 in the Top 20 of 2022
