Knappogue Castle 12 Year Bourbon Cask Matured

This is pretty nice. Overall it's a honey-apple flavor, light and sweet with a hint of tartness. In some ways it is similar to Glenmorangie 10, but I like this a good bit more, because the flavor and finish continue sweet, not turning sour towards the end as I found with Glenmorangie. The only problem is this cost me $50. It's good, but probably not good enough to warrant spending that much again. Maybe once in a while.

Green apples laffy taffy on the nose. Taste is sweet honey and vanilla. Finish is light with lingering honey

All fruit on the nose. A little hot for the abv. Very tasty and fruity (particularly stone fruit) behind oak and vanilla, not overly complex but pleasant. The finish and aftertaste is short, but all stone fruit. Very approachable for new whiskey drinkers.

An Irish done well. Bourbon notes add a bit of intrigue to the traditional shortbread taste.
