Knappogue Castle 1951 is a truly special product. The legacy began in the 1960's when an American, Mark Edwin Andrews, bought the remaining casks of pure pot still whiskey that was distilled at the prestigous B. Daly distillery in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. He named it Knappogue Castle Whiskey, after the castle in the west of Ireland that he owned. Distilled in 1951, Knappogue was aged in sherry casks for 36 years before it was bottled in 1987.

 "A highly individualistic whiskey, which refuses to take prisoners. Another year in cask might have tipped this over the top. We are talking brinkmanship here with a truly awesome display of flavour profiles ranging from traditional Irish pot still to bourbon via old Jamaican pot still rum. A whiskey of mind-boggling duplicity, tricking the taste buds into reading one thing after another and then moving off on a different tangent altogether. About as complex and beguiling as straight Irish Whiskey ever gets. Astonishing and truly a thing of beauty." Jim Murray, Whiskey Expert.
