Knappogue Castle 12 Year Special Barrel Release

Single Malt — Ireland

Reviewed January 17, 2019 (edited April 30, 2020)
4.25
4.25 out of 5 stars
Surprise find on a trip to Montgomery County. This limited release is aged 12 years, non-chill filtered and bottled at 46%. On the nose is the biscuity, malty, baking spice goodness that you would expect, along with an extra punch of ethanol. Arrival is sharp, bright, grain forward and those baking spices are revealed later in the mid-palate. Finish falls away quickly but some mild very pleasant tannins linger. Excellent Irish whiskey at an extremely affordable price.
26.89 USD per Bottle

    The 14 year is great as well. It's a twin wood and it's 46% like this one

    @Whiskey_Hound Thank you. I really enjoyed this, enough so that I will be making a return trip to buy the few bottles they had left.
