Knappogue Castle Single Malt 16 Year (750ml)

Single malt Irish whiskey matured for sixteen years, Knappogue Castle is produced at a distillery in County Clare that has been operating since the 1680s. Like all Irish single malts, it is made from 100% malted barley and distilled at a single location, though the character and aging regimen are shaped by the specific cask program and water of this particular producer.

Expect the honeyed, orchard-fruit sweetness typical of Irish whiskey, with the added depth and oak influence that comes from a decade and a half in wood. The extended aging rounds out the spirit and introduces layers of spice, dried fruit, and subtle oak tannin. This is whiskey suited to sipping neat or with a touch of water, when you want something contemplative with real substance behind it.
