Aged for a minimum of 14 years in bourbon barrels and finished in Oloroso sherry casks to complete at least 16 years, this expression adds nutty and complex sherry notes. The aroma is aromatic, malty, and fruity, with a deep and complex palate featuring sherry maltiness along with fruity and slightly sweet notes.


The finish is long, with some sweetness lingering.

About Knappogue Castle

Knappogue Castle Whiskey is an esteemed Irish single malt whiskey brand with roots tracing back to the 1960s. The brand was founded by Mark Edwin Andrews, an American who, along with his wife Lavone, purchased and restored the historic Knappogue Castle in County Clare, Ireland.


During the restoration, Andrews began acquiring casks of fine pot still whiskey from top distilleries across Ireland, which he aged and bottled under the Knappogue Castle label. Today, Knappogue Castle Whiskey is celebrated for its commitment to traditional Irish whiskey-making techniques, offering expressions aged up to 16 years, each embodying the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Irish single malt whiskey.
