Knappogue Castle Twin Wood 17 year old 1994 Vinatge, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2012 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Irish Single Malt
Finished in sherry casks, which contribute lush red berried fruit, strawberry/rhubarb crumb pie, and candied ginger on top of honeyed malt, vanilla wafer, nougat, and warming spice. Oily texture, with resinous oak on the finish. Good balance with plenty of character. After years of younger Knappogue releases, I've really been enjoying the more recent older bottlings like this one. (Allocated mostly to the U.S.)
