Erin Go Bragh

En lisant un article nomme "Irish whiskey: The legend continues" sur le International Herald Tribune http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/03/08/ ... rbooze.php
J'ai decouvert ce single malt.

Dans un test de 16 differents irish whiskey, c'est leur favoris.

It was too good to be true. Our top-rated Irish whiskey was a six-year-old single malt for $18 with the very Irish name of Erin Go Bragh. Trouble was, none of us had ever heard of it. Research showed it was not a fraud. In his book "Whiskey: The Definitive World Guide," Michael Jackson makes passing reference to Erin Go Bragh, "a rare creature sighted occasionally in Irish bars or specialty whiskey bars in the United States."

We found it to be smooth, mellow, elegant and complex, and gave it 3½ stars. But unless you happen on one of those few bottles, it's not available.



Je n'ai jamais vu cette bouteille en irlande, de plus, presque impossible de trouver quelque chose sur le web. Quelqu'un a des informations?

C'est un embouteillage de malt de chez Midleton et il est âgé de 6 ans et "erin go bragh" signifie Irlande pour toujours. A part ça, je n'en sais pas plus ....

Pour les anglicistes :

"So no OB Midleton malt. But bottling of a Midleton malt has happened.
Exactly who bottled it and how they managed to get the casks is unclear, but the result is a 6yo
Midleton malt whiskey called Erin Go Bragh. Soft mouthfeel, hints of malt and toffee, perfumy, some
leathery notes. All very light and thin with a slightly bitter-dry finish. Until very recently I thought this
was the only time Midleton malt was bottled, but then I got my copy of part 2 of Valentino Zagatti's
"The Best Collection". And what's there on page 57? A 22yo Erin Go Bragh, distilled in 1963; imported
into the US by the same importer as the current 6 y.o .... Does this also come from Midleton?
There is nothing on the label as shown in the book to suggest it does, but still, it's curious."
