Knappogue Castle 14 Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey

The Knappogue Castle 14 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey is a well-regarded expression often referred to as "Twin Wood" due to its maturation in two types of oak casks: ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks.   

Key Features:

• Irish Origin: Produced in Ireland, often sourced from the Cooley Distillery.   
• Single Malt: Made from 100% malted barley.
• Age Statement: Aged for 14 years.   
• Cask Maturation: Matured in both ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks.
• Triple Distilled: Following traditional Irish methods.
• ABV: Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof).
• Non-Chill Filtered: Yes, to retain more of its natural flavors.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Presents notes of apple and apricot, along with a biscuity maltiness and hints of peppery spice. The sherry influence adds depth with aromas of fleshy fruits like plum and apricot, and sometimes red berries. You might also find vanilla from the bourbon casks and a touch of honey.   
• Palate: Described as rich and fruity with flavors of green apple and zesty grapefruit. The malt brings out the quality of the wood, with sweet vanilla and light tannins from the charred oak. Some detect nutty and toffee notes, as well as a hint of spice.   
• Finish: Medium to long, transitioning from full fruity notes to a dry yet pleasant barley conclusion. Some find lingering notes of sweetness and a touch of oak spice.   

Overall Impression:

Knappogue Castle 14 Year Old is considered a well-balanced and complex Irish single malt. The marriage of bourbon and sherry cask maturation creates a harmonious blend of fruit, spice, and sweetness. It's often praised for its distinct flavors and smooth character.

• Irish Whiskey of the Year: Irish Whiskey Awards 2016.
