Wine Enthusiast 89 Points This single malt very special reserve is light-bodied and perky, from its herbaceous, grassy scent to its citrusy flavors and almost effervescent feel. It finishes light and creamy, with a touch of honey and a whisper of smoke. Because it’s so light, it would be good with savory appetizers, such as cheeses, charcuterie and anything encased in puff pastry.
Knappogue Castle announces the first time release of its 12 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey. A new package design reflects the change from vintage dating to age designation. As the original vintage dated whiskey, Knappogue is undertaking this change to bring greater clarity to the age of the product.
Color: Lovely pale straw/yellow color reminiscent of muscadet white wine; ideal purity.
Aroma: Opening inhalations encounter richly biscuity and malty/grainy/breakfast cereal aromas. Several minutes of air contact adds intriguing pepper/vegetal and spice notes.
Taste: Entry is balanced, focused, and integrated, slightly astringent and nicely fruity. Midpalate has delicate tastes of marshmallow, brown sugar, oaky vanilla, and marzipan.
Comment: A polished and mature Irish single malt whiskey selected and bottled at the ideal age. One of the best Knappogue Castle bottlings to date. Excellent Value.
