Knappogue Castle Twin Wood 17 Yr Single Malt Irish Whiskey Tasting Notes
Color: Dark auburn with gold highlights
Aroma: Light. Faint sweetness. Barely there green apple, maybe pecan with dry walnut skin. Roundness depicting a lush fruit.
Tasted Neat: Nut skin dryness. Too thin to be “chewy” but has light notes of 
wonderful dark, rich fruitcake. Bit of peach pit. Very little burn.
Mouth Feel: Light. Upper end of thin.
Possible Uses, Pairings and / or Cocktails:
I am particularly fond of cooking with whiskey. This one is no different. I think it would be fabulous as a marinade base for pork loin. This would also be especially enjoyable to sip while relaxing fireside.
Knappogue is pronounced nah-POGUE’ (like brogue)
