Knappogue Castle 1994 Master Distiller’s Private Selection

Close to one year later than the previous Knappogue Castle release a 15 year old expression and distinctly different in flavor profile. (Think different distilleries.) This one triple-distilled suggests Bushmills origin. Very clean and polished. Gently sweet too with powdered vanilla honeyed malt complex tropical fruit (tangerine kiwi coconut pineapple) and creamy marshmallow. Clean gently sweet finish. Not the most complex Irish I’ve ever tasted but the flavors that are there are tight and well-balanced.
