"** Disclaimer: This review is what I would consider a “Quick Hit”- meaning I won’t have my usual in-depth notes that I usually like to take. The reason: this sample was poured at Whiskyfest DC on 4/17/18. All of these reviews will not be scored and I am actively looking to try them again at some point to do them more justice.
This was the first Irish whisky I tasted at the festival and it lived up to the hype: it was smooth and creamy while still having a nice flavor profile of vanilla, oak and a little heat. I’m glad @Generously_Paul told me to go get a pour before the VIP hour ended. It’s a quality malt and I’d like to try more from these guys. Maybe when our Scottish Distillery Tour ends and we begin the Irish version. Right, @PBMichiganWolverine, @Telex, @Scott_E?

@1901 - I personally don’t have any bottles from Knappogue, but I am thinking of doing a video using one of the Green Spot wine cask finishes eventually.
I’m a fan of the Knappogue castle offerings. This 16yo and particularly the 14yo and 12yo too. Any sign of you guys doing that Irish version? :)
Just downed the 12 year which I liked. Irish whisky round sounds fun!
@PBMichiganWolverine - as long as I can replace the green tea with beet juice. Most tea activates my gag reflex as soon as I smell it. The LCT: Liver Cleanse Tour. Has a nice ring to it...
@LeeEvolved I’m planning on a liver cleanse after the tour. What if we start a tour on various ways we can have green tea, kale , and kombucha? 😀
That sounds like a plan
