Knockmealdowns is created from only six casks (max. 2000 bottles at a time) and matured in Ireland for 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels. The whiskey is also cut to 47% with water from Ballindoney Farm. Like Watershed, each bottle of Knockmealdowns is individually numbered.
Colour : Gold. The nose opens with fresh oak, developing into hot caramel sauce with notes of chocolate and vanilla. The pallet is light and smooth – sweet honey cut through with citrus notes, then becoming savoury and peppery. The finish lingers, oaky with drying tannins and just a touch of ginger spice.
