Knappogue Castle
16 Year Old Sherry Cask Finished Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Category: Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted: 6/7/2022

Country: Ireland

Alcohol: 43%

Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of apple blossom and honey on a warm multi grain biscuit, marzipan, pecan, and chocolate covered orange with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and an interesting, long finish that presents accents of brown sugar and molasses, apple and pecan, and toasted brioche. A full bodied, rich, and wonderful Single Malt that’s full of flavor and character, and asks to be pondered over; pair with a moderately robust cigar.

About

Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Single malt Irish whiskeys, like their Scottish cousins, are whiskies that are only made with malted barley. They are usually triple distilled through both column and pot stills, although there are a few exclusively pot-distilled brands.
