Knappogue Castle 1993

Straw gold color. Very clean aroma and flavor-malty with vanilla cotton candy honey and subtle floral notes. Light in body and somewhat creamy in texture with a soft slightly youthful finish. More Irish character than previous Knappogue bottlings and quite mature for an eight year old whiskey. It is a touch youthful on the finish. While it is quite enjoyable now (and unbelievably drinkable) I would like to have seen this whiskey with another one to two years of aging to give it a little more depth and maturity on the finish.
