Knappogue Castle 21 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whisky Review #343 from WhiskyJason

WhiskyJason reviews Knappogue Castle 21 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whisky Knappogue Castle 21 years old is a limited-edition single malt Irish whiskey, with only 1,200 bottles produced. First put into casks in 1994 and 1996, this marriage of two single malts - aged 21 and 23 years - is made exclusively from malted barley. Distilled in copper pot stills and matured in bourbon casks, this expression is nonchill filtered and bottled at 46% ABV. The name Knappogue, pronounced Nah’pogue, translates to “hill of the kiss” in Gaelic and can be traced to a 15th century castle that stands in County Clare, Ireland. The castle was purchased in the 1960s by Mark Edwin Andrews III from Texas and his wife. Mr. Andrews was known for collecting and bottling single malt and pure pot still whiskey.
