Twin Wood is a 16 year old single malt from the Knappogue Castle range, which was initially matured in bourbon barrels before being transferred over to casks seasoned with Oloroso Sherry for a finishing period. Very good value Irish whiskey, right here.
It's plenty malty, with a good balance of vanilla and dark chocolate coming through.
Oak-y spice comes to the fore on the palate, with continued nutty chocolate notes and a touch of dried fruit.
the Sherry cask influence persists on the finish.
Shame they add caramel so I won't comment on the colour. Dark gold but so what if it's artificial? Beautiful light bouquet with strong plum, apricot and malty richness. Delightfully light palate, citrus, slightly nutty, oaky, strong sherry, good development and long finish with sherry notes coming to the fore. Excellent value for money if you enjoy the lighter character of Irish triple distilled whiskies but want something with more body.
Very smooth!! The Sherry casks are very in the nose. Upon first taste, there are notes of cherry, vanilla, and cinnamon. It is almost up to Redbreast 12 standards. Its not there due to it not being as smooth, but its the only thing comparable, and I'll definitely be buying another bottle. Thank goodness for Sherry casks!!
