The Knappogue Castle brand got its name from the historic building in Co Clare that American entrepreneur Mark Edwin Andrews purchased in the 1950s. Andrews also had a love of fine whiskey and set about buying casks of old pot still from the remaining stocks of the B Daly Distillery in Tullamore. Th..
The first in a series of single malt vintages from the Knappogue Castle, released back in 1999. It is a delicate Cooley double distilled malt. It's very grassy with soft vanilla coming from the wood. Later vintages were sourced from Bushmills, and Knappogue started off by bottling very old, very rar..

The last of a run of three vintage Cooleys bottled by Knappogue, before the switch to Bushmills. The 1992 was bottled at eight years old after spending its life in a bourbon cask. According to Castle Brands, 'this bottling owns far more grip and structural grace than the 1991'. A very easygoing dou..

The third Bushmills in the series, following some Cooleys. This is a triple-distilled, bourbon matured single malt that builds on the 1994. Very interesting to try alongside the other Bushmills vintages from Knappogue. A little more vanilla and spice, with not shortage of light fruits. The first of ..
The Knappogue vintage series takes a jump from 1995 to 1998, but it's along the same lines. This malt is bourbon matured, like the previous bottlings in the range. It was bottled back in 2010. You can expect a smooth vanilla malt with some honey and light fruits. Delicate...

A special bottling for the famous old Park Avenue Liquors store on Madison Avenue, New York. This malt was distilled at Cooley in 1992 and bottled in 2006. Very hard to find these days...
Rather confusingly named... it's a malt rather than a pure pot still whiskey from Macleod's. It's bourbon matured and very highly rated by whisky writer Jim Murray, who gives it a score of 91. A nicely honeyed, malty whiskey distilled at the Cooley Distillery...
