Quiet a floral and grainy nose, but it is backed by some wonderful sweet orange and sherry fruit with a hint of coffee. There’s a touch of Sauvignon blanc-esque grassiness, which the sherry supports not swamps, and a beguiling ‘garden’ perfume of apricot, clov... [more details]

The grain barley gets a look in as the malt and oak dominates from the first whiff. Toasted oak and bread form a dense background, sweetened by muscavardo sugar melting on porridge. [Palate] Now that’s different: how many blends do you know that kick off with ... [more details]

Banana skins and custard; soft barley but drier and dustier than any other Knappogue nose. Early mouth watering barley fades; a sugary sheen is quickly usurped by an impatient oaky bitterness. Dry-ish and bitter with a barley residue; some ultra light spices. ... [more details]

Youthful with a myriad of citrus notes trying to out dazzle the gathering peat; shows great subtlety and fun. Refreshing, with the barley insisting on behaving half the age it really is. The smoke appears lethargic but grows into a spicy crescendo; lots of van... [more details]

Re-Tasted: Sept 2011
A soft and quite meaty nose, redolent of smoked bacon – Hmm, a good breakfast malt! It still has it’s trademark crisp citrus character and the gentle sooty peat becomes quite enveloping, however there is a good depth of malty fruit beneat... [more details]

An intense and heavier peated nose than I remember. Fresh and oily, it reminds me a bit of Caol Ila with that herbal, loamy, pure peat intensity. Quiet phenolic with a touch of tar and a medicinal note. Some vanilla oak arrives with time as does a perfumed whi... [more details]

Bourbon
Tasted: May 2011
An intensly fresh and briny nose. Seriously phenolic and youthful but with a good balancing malty-sweetness. Slightly gristy with hints of fleshy green banana and some high toned ‘off the still’ soapy notes which emphasise the youthf... [more details]

Tasted: July 2011
An aromatic, expansive nose of sweet corn. Wonderfully fat but balanced by a grainy nip and a touch of zesty citrus that is just so precise. There is a lovely depth of vanilla oak and one could easily mistake this as a product of Kentucky wi... [more details]

An elegant and high toned nose of floral spirit. I’ll be a bit picky and say that there’s a brief soapy note but it soon disappears under the American and European sherry oak. Lovely layering of fruit, dark chocolate, crumbly spices, grilled nuts, brittle/hard... [more details]

Each year this “experiment” in quality changes a little and thus each release is vintage dated. One thing you can count on is that it will always be elegant, impeccably balanced and perilously drinkable. Distillery manager Barry Crockett wouldn’t put his signa... [more details]

I was quiet surprised at how darkly amber this malt is. The nose is very intense with absolutely oodles of big, juicy, earthy apricot fruit and liquid honey. It has a sort of restless energy, almost a buzzy graininess! It’s certainly not a shy and retiring mal... [more details]
