Knappogue Castle 12 Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey (Bourbon Cask)
86 proof 12 years Single Malt Irish Whiskey Knappogue Castle $35.99

Light, airy fruit with peach and pear notes. Aromatic mint quality making it light and refreshing. Banana notes reminiscent of banana Laffy taffy. Biscotti flavor with vanilla coming from the cask. Peppery character present.

Peppery with baked good notes. Peach notes carry through. Buttery, creamy texture. Smooth with warming effect. White pepper spice. The finish hangs on the back of the palate with a shallow Kentucky hug-like warming sensation.

Peppery, hanging on the back of the palate rather than deep and aggressive. Warming but not intense.

Overall Score
3.8 / 5
A smooth, approachable entry-level single malt with delicate fruit and spice that delivers premium quality without aggression.
