About this bottle

Irish 1990 2019 TWA 29 Year is a irish whiskey from Ireland. It is bottled at 48.5% ABV, carrying a 29-year age statement, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: vanilla, nectarines and ripe pineapple. Quite some creamy notes (crème brûlée or panna cotta) and a hint of honey. Maybe not the most exhuberant release though, there’s still a malty core and a chalky note that seem to act as a brake on the tropical notes; on the palate: We start on gooseberries and greengages with grassy notes. A little white pepper. Kiwi. More pineapple after a while, but still no über-fruitiness. A few mineral touches again. Waxed papers. Rapeseed oil; finish: medium, with some fresh herbs, oily notes and a hint of grass.

Serving & pairing

Smooth enough to enjoy neat, Irish whiskey also lifts a hot toddy or an Irish coffee. Pairs with soda bread, mild cheeses and roast chicken.

What is single pot still Irish whiskey?

A style made only in Ireland from a mash of malted and unmalted barley (historically to avoid a tax on malt), distilled in copper pot stills at a single distillery. The unmalted barley gives a distinctive spicy, creamy texture.

Collector order

Patient, and then very pleased.

“If you need a bottle tomorrow, this is not that shop. If you want something Spirit Hives actually has and you can wait a stretch, it works. Mine turned up and it was exactly the label I wanted.”
James R.Hard-to-find Scotch
Corporate gifts

Forty gifts, one conversation.

“Corporate bottles for clients. Spirit Hives suggested three price bands, one invoice, and the labels were consistent. Several clients asked where they came from.”
Tom H.40 bottles
First Scotch

Peat without the leap of faith.

“I wanted Islay without buying a wall of smoke. The tasting notes on Spirit Hives pointed to a gentler malt. It opened a door instead of slamming one.”
Jonah K.Islay single malt
Advent calendar

Advent, then a full-size bottle.

“Twenty-four small pours, each with a card. December at our house became a ritual, and we already know which Spirit Hives bottles we are buying properly in January.”
