Knappogue Castle 1994

The fifth vintage of Knappogue Castle and the second consecutive one comprised of whiskey from the Bushmills distillery. (The previous three were from the Cooley Distillery.) This one is very clean and quite soft on the palate with a gentle sweetness throughout (fresh malt vanilla and honey). Floral and citrus notes offer a subtle pleasantness throughout. Soft soothing creamy vanilla finish with hints of confectioners sugar and lightly toasted marshmallow. This is a pleasant versatile Irish whiskey to have in your bar to serve neat on the rocks or in smart cocktails.
