Knappogue Castle French Oak Cask is a limited-edition Irish whiskey that breaks tradition. This single malt starts with triple-distilled Irish whiskey sourced from Bushmills, but then takes an unexpected turn. It's matured for at least 12 years in traditional bourbon barrels, followed by a unique finish in French oak casks from the prestigious Chateau Pichon Baron vineyard. This innovative approach results in a complex and intriguing Irish whiskey experience.

Description

Nose

A delightful interplay between classic Irish whiskey notes and intriguing French oak influences. Expect hints of honey and vanilla alongside a surprising whisper of floral notes, possibly lavender or chamomile. The French oak adds a touch of spice and a hint of coconut.

Palate

Smooth and complex with a balance of sweet, fruity, and spicy notes. The initial sweetness from the nose translates beautifully, offering flavors of honey and vanilla. Hints of red fruits like strawberries and red grapes emerge, showcasing the influence of the bourbon casks. The French oak character comes through with subtle notes of spice and a touch of coconut, adding a layer of intrigue.

Finish

Clean and crisp with lingering sweetness and a touch of oaky spice. The sweetness fades slowly, leaving a pleasant warmth on the palate. The French oak influence lingers with a hint of spice and a touch of dryness.
