Knappogue Castle - 14 Year
A pleasing combination of single malts aged in bourbon barrels and in Oloroso sherry casks - something which has earned it the name 'Twin Wood'. This is a limited edition from independent bottlers Knappogue Castle, featuring fruity, nutty notes alongside a rich mouthfeel.
Nose: The typical orchard fruits/apple pie character of the malt is given depth with the use of Oloroso Sherry casks, in the form of fleshy fruit – plums and apricots. The bourbon cask influence appears as a sweet vanilla note which is in harmony with the biscuit-like aroma of the barley.
Palate: The nose sets up the expectation of a real mouthful of flavour, and it follows through. The body is rich and fruity; with hints of green apple with the zest of grapefruit. The malt helps to bring out the quality of the wood: sweet vanilla with light tannins from the charred oak.Finish is medium in length, going from full fruity notes to dry yet pleasant barley conclusion.
