Knappogue Castle 12 Year Bourbon Cask Matured
Single Malt — Ireland

Nose: apple, honey, shortbread cookie - a lot like I remember Green Spot
Taste: vanilla, apple, the sweetness fades until the taste is almost vegetal
Finish: velvety, a hint of the shortbread cookie remains with some of the vegetal note
After reading reviews: honey and fruity are common to reviews, Distiller’s grassy and Whizzky’s vegetal are in line with what I got, I didn’t get the mint that Distiller noted nor the almond/marzipan in other reviews. Overall, this was really nice and was like 95% of Green Spot for 75% of the price. Personal preference would have been for more sweetness in the late taste and finish versus the vegetal. I guess I’ll have to try the 14 year to see if it heads that direction...

Nice review. Definitely give the 14 a go if you liked this one. It's a damn fine whiskey and it's only $10 more
