Knappogue Irish Single Malt 12yr

Knappogue castle 12 year old single malt is the first knappogue castle single malt to have an age statement. This knappogue castle 12 year old single malt is triple distilled in a northern irish distillery and is matured in bourbon casks for twelve years. The colour is a lovely pale straw/yellow color reminiscent of muscadet white wine withan aroma opening inhalations encounter richly biscuity and malty/grainy/breakfast cereal aromas. Several minutes of air contact adds intriguing pepper/vegetal and spice notes. The taste: entry is balanced focused and integrated slightly astringent and nicely fruity. The mid-palate has delicate tastes of marshmallow brown sugar oaky vanilla and marzipan. 40% abv comment: a polished and mature irish single malt whiskey selected and bottled at the ideal age. One of the best knappogue castle bottlings to date. Excellent value.
