Knappogue Castle Distillery
If you drive through the mountains and valleys of Ireland, you will notice an incredible number of stately country houses from centuries long forgotten. One of these many impressive buildings is Knappogue Castle, which dates back to the 15th century. In 1966 it was bought by Mark Edwin Andrews, who restored the castle together with his wife, a very well-known architect at the time.
It was also at this time that Andrews began buying rare pot still whiskeys from the distilleries in the region that were (still) producing them. At first they matured for some time in his own warehouse until Andrews died and the stock was passed on to his son. He discovered the potential in the whiskeys and gradually sold them under the Knappogue Castle label. One of the oldest vintages in the inventory was a 36-year-old whiskey from 1951.
Cask Finish Series - Marchesi di Barolo Limited Release
The series includes a range of single malts that were finished in different types of barrels. The 12YO Barolo Wine Cask Finish uses special barrels from the well-known Barolo Winery, in which the whiskey is aged after 12 years in bourbon barrels.
Special aromas are fruity notes of strawberry, cinnamon and caramel. On the palate you discover further fruit aromas paired with a finely balanced spiciness. The finish is slightly peppery and spicy with smoky oak.

Finlaggan Single Malt Scotch Whisky Red Wine Cask Matured 0.7L 46% The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. The independent bottler 'The Vintage Malt Whisky Company' can be found in Milngavie, a small suburb of Glasgow. It was founded in 1992 by no unknown person. The company's founder is the former director of Morrison Bowmore Distillers, Brian Cook. After starting out with the blended malt 'Glenalmond', the Finlaggan brand quickly followed. Finlaggan whiskies are whiskies that contain a range of smoky, peaty single malts. The Finlaggan Red Wine Cask Matured was subjected to a special maturation process for The Vintage Malt Whisky Co series, because this is not a 'post-maturation', but the whisky was stored throughout in, as the addition suggests, red wine barrels. In this case in particular, these were Rioja red wine barrels from the Basque Country. Bottlers Note At the beginning, there is immediately noticeable peat smoke together with red berries. On the palate, there are now also noticeably stronger peat and smoky notes, a sweet aroma of various berries and plums, and a pinch of sea salt. The aftertaste is long-lasting, with sweet smoky notes.
