Overview

More Info

Named for a 15th-century County Clare castle, Knappogue Castle 14 Year is a Twin Wood single malt that spends its full fourteen years split between ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks. That marriage shows up in the glass: apple and apricot on the nose, then a rich run of nutty, vanilla warmth into a dry barley finish. Bottled non-chill filtered at 92 proof, so the texture stays full. Pour it neat, let it open, and sip something new.
Tasting notes

Nose: The typical orchard fruits/apple pie character of the malt is given depth with the use of Oloroso Sherry casks, in the form of fleshy fruit – plums and apricots. The bourbon cask influence appears as a sweet vanilla note which is in harmony with the biscuit-like aroma of the barley.

Palate: The nose sets up the expectation of a real mouthful of flavour, and it follows through. The body is rich and fruity; with hints of green apple with the zest of grapefruit. The malt helps to bring out the quality of the wood: sweet vanilla with light tannins from the charred oak.Finish is medium in length, going from full fruity notes to dry yet pleasant barley conclusion.

Tipxy AI Overview

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ 4/5 AI Rating

Knappogue Castle 14 Year is one of the most respected aged Irish single malts available, spending its maturation in bourbon barrels for deep vanilla and cream character with complexity well beyond most Irish whiskeys in its tier. Irish whiskey fans seeking something more serious than standard blended expressions frequently praise its elegance, smooth mouthfeel, and long, satisfying finish. It's a benchmark for premium Irish single malt that competes favorably with far more expensive expressions.
