Knappogue Castle
12 Year Old Bourbon Cask-Matured Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Category: Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted: 6/24/2024

Country: Ireland

Alcohol: 43%

Gold color. Aromas and flavors of pine forest, vanilla sour cream frosting, green apple, and lemon and honey in green tea with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, involved, medium-long finish that exhibits nuances of lemon pound cake, vanilla sour cream frosting, toasted mixed nuts, and cinnamon spice on nougat. This Whiskey has a beautiful nose and reaches up to greet you, almost like a Hot Toddy straight out of the bottle.
