Knappogue Castle 16 Year Old Single Malt WhiskeyA great new bottling of single malt Irish whiskey. This is described as a 'twin wood' malt because the whiskey was first matured in Bourbon casks for 15 years and 3 months then transferred for the final maturation in Sherry casks.
Limited to just 1900 bottles worldwide this is sure to become quite collectible.
Malt Advocate Review: "The latest limited relase from this brand. This whiskey spent most of its life in a bourbon barrel and then spent 9 months in sherry casks. ("Twin wood" is synonymous with "finishing.") This one's triple distilled (think Bushmill's Distillery) and is the first Knappogue Castle to be aged in two types of wood. It's a very nice whiskey, with an array of bright fruit lying on a bed of creamy vanilla, toasted nuts, marshmallow, marzipan, and powdered cocoa. Excluding the original 1951 Knappogue Castle release (from the long gone B. Daly distillery), this is my favorite of the "modern day" Knappogue Castle whiskeys." Malt Advocate 90 points
