Knappogue Castle 14 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Single Malt Irish Whiskey | 46% ABV | 92 Proof | 700mL | Ireland | 14 Years Old | Bourbon & Oloroso Sherry Casks | Non-Chill Filtered

Process & Profile

Knappogue Castle 14 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey is a limited Twin Wood expression created from triple-distilled, unpeated Irish single malt. It brings together whiskeys matured for at least 14 years in two different types of oak: traditional bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks.

The mature single malts are married to combine the vanilla, orchard fruit, and gentle oak character of bourbon barrels with the dried fruit, spice, and added depth contributed by Oloroso sherry wood. Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, it retains a rich texture and concentrated malt character.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh apple, apricot, plum, and orchard fruit with sweet vanilla, biscuit-like malt, and gentle spice.

• Palate: Rich and fruity with green apple, grapefruit zest, vanilla, nuts, dried fruit, and light tannins from charred oak.

• Finish: Medium to long, moving from ripe fruit and subtle spice toward a pleasantly dry barley conclusion.

What Makes It Special

• Carries a full 14-year age statement.

• Created by marrying single malts matured in bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks.

• Triple distilled from unpeated malted barley for a smooth yet expressive profile.

• Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) for greater body and flavor concentration.

• Presented non-chill filtered to preserve texture and natural whiskey character.

• Earned a Master award at the 2023 Irish Whiskey Masters and Gold at the 2024 Luxury Masters.

How to Enjoy

Knappogue Castle 14 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey is best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped whiskey glass. Allow the whiskey to rest briefly after pouring so its apple, apricot, vanilla, dried fruit, and Oloroso sherry spice can fully open.

A few drops of water can reveal additional orchard fruit and malt sweetness without overwhelming the whiskey’s delicate character. It also pairs well with aged cheddar, roasted nuts, dried apricots, apple tart, or lightly spiced desserts.
