Egan's Searbh, 46%

Roasted coffee bean, double chocolate muffin, and stout on the nose, more intense bitter dark chocolate notes, dusty spices, candy cola bottles, root beer, and espresso. Silky textured, with fleeting flavors of lemongrass and chicory, then white pepper, lemon jelly, and aniseed. It gets creamier as the spices fade, with hints of orange peel and baked apple lasting into a creamy but palate-cleansing finish. (200 sets)—JM €5,950 for a set of five bottles
