In a move away from vintages, Knappogue Castle 12 Year Old is a delicious triple distilled single malt Irish whiskey bottling, having spent its days in bourbon casks.
Vanilla shortbread, a crack of black pepper and chewy malt.
Gentle oak spice and vanilla custard, with hints of cut grass.
Orchard fruit on a lingering finish.
With a little water this is a well rounded and an enjoyable whiskey, satisfying complexity and flavour but not too fancy. An enjoyable tipple
Very smooth. Biscuity and straw notes with vanilla , hint of burnt orange. Grassy finish. Elegant.
Reminds me Tobermory a bit
Very smooth Irish Whiskey, nice finish, no burn!
One of the best Irish whiskey I tasted: smooth and fruity. I think the price is not expensive for the quality provided. If you prefer strong, smoky, spicey: this one's not for you. On the other hand, it is perfect to start with it in a whiskey tasting activity or to introduce someone to wiskey world.
