Knappogue Castle 12 Years Old Single Malt Review
This single malt is triple-distilled and aged for 12 years in bourbon casks. The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of dried stone fruits, nuts, and malted barley. That combination continues seamlessly onto the palate, with a light, fruity finish providing the ideal whiskey for summer sipping.
