This rare single malt is aged for a minimum of 19 years in former Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon casks, then transferred into Madeira casks for the final two years of its maturation. The result is a whiskey of considerable depth that interweaves dried fruit flavors with spicy, aromatic maltiness and subtle, nutty, toasted raisin notes. Gold Medal 2007 SF World Spirits Competition.

**** Highly Recommended, F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "Amber/honey color; flawless clarity. Smoked, oily/waxy, nutty, and intensively grainy; aeration adds a buttery succulence and a fruity ripeness that wasn't in the opening whiffs. Entry is toffee-like, grainy sweet, and honeyed; the midpalate stage is all butter, cream, smoked trout, roasted nuts, bacon fat, bacon rind, and spice. Concludes in a potent, grainy, and honeyed manner that's wonderfully fulfilling. A terrific whiskey from A to Z."

95 points and 'Top 50 Spirits 2012,' Wine Enthusiast: "As 'the master blender's special selection of very old Jameson Irish Whiskey,' this bottling represents. Rich honey color, tropical fruit scent with a touch of thick caramel. The flavors are bright and vibrant--lychee, banana, orange peel, tempered by a wash of honey--and the finish is intriguing and dry with nuances of white chocolate, banana, leather and nutmeg. Beautiful. abv: 40%. (Mar 2012)"
****Highly Recommended, F. Paul Pacult Spirit Journal: "Medium amber hue, spotless clarity. Wow, the dried tropical fruit (pineapple and guava, especially) scent takes command immediately in the initial whiffs; additional time in glass stimulates deeper aromas of pine nut, apricot, pears, honeysuckle, old leather and orange blossom -- a fabulously sensual bouquet. Entry taste is lusciously gripping and honeyed, with earmark flavors of toffee, sweet breakfast cereal and orange marmalade; midpalate turns nearly profound in terms of depth of flavor, in particular, the long, languid tastes of almond butter and nougat are highly aspects. Finishes dusty dry, astringent, refreshing and intensely oaky. Serious whiskey drinkers only need apply. (Mar 2012)"
A rare whiskey matured in hand picked oak casks. Mixed sherry notes, aromatic oils, touch of wood, spice, toffee; wonderfully mellow, smooth, and full of complex flavors -- toffee, spice, hints of wood; a gentle sherry nuttiness, vanilla -- all coming together to give a unique sensation. A long lingering finish draws the theme of wood, spice, and sweet toffee to its conclusion.

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Golden honey color. The aroma is a pleasing mix of caramel and faint smoke. Bold, oaky flavors, rich feel and beautiful, lingering butterscotch finish with a faint whisper of smoke and just the right amount of bite. Sip over ice. (Mar 2011)"
'Recommended,' F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "Pale hue is the silvery/green color of oyster shell/fino sherry; excellent clarity. Smells faintly of flower garden deep into the growing season, meaning muted, earthy, and vegetal; further time in the glass allows for deeper aromas, especially grain, malt, flax, and oak to emerge. Entry is nimble in its supreme lightness and gently sweet; the midpalate stage displays a bit more profundity in the grain depth and flavor length. Ends up delectably sweet, easy, smooth, and better than average. Though hardly complex and to some perhaps frightfully rudimentary, it deserves a recommendation for its lovely, no-brainer drinkability. (2007)"
Kilbeggan is a uniquely Irish whiskey. Like most Irish people, Kilbeggan is easy going and approachable, but with its own distinctive style. The finest grain and malt whiskeys are blended together for the smooth, sweet taste and lovely malty finish that is Kilbeggan Irish whiskey.

**** Highly Recommended, F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal). Triple distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2011, Knappogue Castle 17 Year Old is a limited edition single malt of exceptional quality. It was first aged for 15 years and 3 months in ex-bourbon oak casks, and then transferred into casks specially infused with Oloroso sherry. The result is a complex, aromatic whiskey with bright fruit notes supported by creamy vanilla, toasted nuts, marzipan and cocoa. Abv: 40%.

93 points and 'Top 50 Spirits 2012,' Wine Enthusiast: "From county Cork comes this bartender favorite. Look for a vibrant golden color and enticing honeysuckle and buttery brioche aroma. This whiskey feels soft and sets the mouth watering with lightly smoky notes tapering off to jazzy layers of honey, dried fruit, cinnamon and ginger. abv: 40%. (Mar 2012)"
Medium amber hue; some sediment spotted. The initial couple of sniffings within three minutes of the pour reveal dry to off-dry scents of butterscotch, maple, and oak; additional time in the glass allows for more and deeper aromas to emerge, most prominent are peanut butter, road tar, beans (as in, legumes) and dry breakfast cereal; a complete, complex bouquet that keeps unfolding with aeration. The palate entry tastes are full-bodied and significantly sweeter and oilier than the aroma; the midpalate stage displays a beany, oily, buttered popcorn flavor profile that's really delicious and robust. The aftertaste is long, warming, and oily, with a trace of sweet oak. Something of a cult legend in Ireland; a dandy example of pure pot still whiskey. Highly Recommended!
