Knappogue Castle, Castle Brands
Single malt - Northern Ireland
Pale yellow
40% ABV
Dram

Nose: Raisins, yoghurt, apples, lemon sweets, honey, hints of cranberries.
Mouthfeel: Light body, thickens slightly, a little astringent.
Tasting: Sweet. Apples, apple juice, raisins, honey, lemons, cranberries, hints of barley sugar.
Finish: Short. Toffee, caramel, lemon sweets, apples.

Comments:

Light, refreshing and very sweet. Appley, almost cidery in its intensity, and there's a certain tartness in the mouth and in the finish. If Magners Irish Cider were a whisky, maybe it would be like this.

Verdict:

I like this.
