About Knappogue Castle<\/h2>\n

In 1966, Texas architect Lavon\u00e9 Dickensheets Andrews and her husband, Mark, stumbled upon the remains of Knappogue Castle, an Irish landmark in County Clare which was originally built by Clan MacNamara in 1467. Struck by the passionate impulse to restore the castle, the couple purchased Knappogue Castle and embarked on their journey to restore its original grandeur.<\/p>\n

While Mrs. Andrews focused on the architectural details of the project, Mark Andrews began buying casks of the finest pot still Irish whiskey and bottling them under his own independent label, suitably named Knappogue Castle. Andrews was unusual in that he chose to bottle single malt Irish whiskeys, as opposed to blends, which most others were choosing at the time. The last of Andrews\u2019 selections, Knappogue Castle 1951, was distilled at the now-defunct B. Daly distillery, and since become the oldest and rarest publicly-available Irish whiskey in existence. <\/p>\n

About Irish Whiskey<\/h2>\n

Contrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Its origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Irish whiskey doesn\u2019t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered \u201cpure\u201d and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.<\/p>\n

Orchard fruit in the foreground, with rich pastry notes accented with subtle clove and baked apple spices. Toasted oak adds additional character to the background aromas. Soft and mellow with further depth and complexity owing to the long maturation period in oak, with malty richness throughout. The finish is lingering, with delicate barley cereal notes fanning over the palate.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
