Knappogue Castle 14 Year Twin Wood

Single Malt — Ireland

Reviewed May 21, 2019 (edited July 8, 2019)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
Twin wood is well named because I really get two provinces of flavors that get married really nicely. The nose has a really rich quality of caramel and cocoa, dark fruits, but also a bit of biting herbaceous astringency. Entry is honey sweet with melon, followed by lemon, grassy, mint, mineral water, black pepper. Then the finish is back to rounded earthier flavors like chocolate and coffee. The best summation of the experience is like a salted dark chocolate and a dried cranberry consumed at the same time. Very enjoyable.

    @tylerss20 nice review! This distillery was not on my radar. I’ve found that I like the combo of bourbon and oloroso aging and I like that, unlike many other Irish, this is bottled at 46%. Have you had other whiskies in their lineup? If so, what did you think of them?
