Sought after the world over, Knappogue Castle 1951 is a treat only a fortunate few are lucky enough to taste.
Knappogue Castle announces the first time release of its 12 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey. A new package design reflects the change from vintage dating to age designation.

Single malts are the royalty of whiskeys, and Knappogue Castle adds an Irish single malt to this exclusive club. Our single malt vintages are distilled in copper pot stills using only malted barley, aged in oak casks, then bottled according to the year of distillation.
