Summary

Knappogue Castle 12-year-old Marco De Bartoli Marsala Cask-Finished is a distinguished single malt Irish whiskey that has been aged for 12 years. This expression is unique due to its finishing period in Marco De Bartoli Marsala casks, which imparts a distinct character to the spirit. The Marsala cask finish adds layers of complexity and depth, enhancing the whiskey's natural flavors with a touch of Italian influence.

On the nose, this whiskey offers a delightful bouquet of aromas, combining the sweetness of dried fruits with subtle hints of oak and vanilla. The Marsala cask finish introduces a rich, wine-like quality that complements the underlying maltiness. This harmonious blend of scents sets the stage for a memorable tasting experience.

The palate is equally impressive, with a smooth and mellow texture that carries flavors of ripe fruits, gentle spices, and a touch of nuttiness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sweetness and a hint of oak. This whiskey is perfect for those who appreciate a well-balanced and refined spirit with a touch of elegance.
