Limavady is a collaborative effort between Vermont-based Whistlepig, famous for its rye whiskeys, and former Dublin Liberties & Bushmills master distiller Darryl McNally. The original Limavady Distillery opened in 1750 (sadly closing just before Prohibition) and McNally is actually a descendant of those original distillers. Interestingly for an Irish whiskey, it launched in the U.S. before being available in Ireland or the UK.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

We really like the new Limavady. This single barrel single malt manages to simultaneously be both smooth and spicy, with a bit of fruity aroma initially on the nose. We detect tasting notes of apple and caramel along with what we'd describe as spicy vanilla. Limavady is finished in ex-bourbon and PX sherry casks, which gives it richness and a longer finish on the palate. The bottle is also unique, featuring a bulbous bulge at the top of the neck along with a glass closure.

ABV: 46%

Retail price: About $50
