Egan's Conviction blends single malt and single grain Irish whiskeys, each aged for at least ten years, then married and finished in XO Cognac casks. At 46%, it is the premium expression of the Egan family's Irish whiskey range.
The XO Cognac cask finishing is the luxury touch. The Cognac barrels contribute fine oak, sandalwood and a brandy warmth that elevate the blend beyond conventional Irish whiskey territory. The ten years of base maturation provide genuine depth — honey, dark fruit, cereal sweetness.
Egan's Conviction is an elegant, well-mannered Irish whiskey for contemplative drinking. The Cognac finishing adds sophistication, the ten years add depth, and the velvet-soft delivery makes it genuinely pleasurable to drink. Reviews are divided on value at £79, but the quality is beyond question.
