Single Malt Irish Whiskey like no other. Building on the cult following of our original Hybrid Cask™ collection, this release pushes the boundaries of whiskey innovation even further. Crafted with a selection of rare and unconventional casks, it continues our quest to explore uncharted territory in whiskey making — where tradition meets bold invention.

Knappogue [NA-POGUE] takes its name from the castle which inspired it – the castle on “The kissing hill”. Built in 1467, the stronghold had fallen into ruin by 1966 when Mark Edwin Andrews and his wife Lavonne (both architects) restored it and filled it with some of Ireland’s best casks of whiskey. Some of these became the oldest, rarest commercially available whiskeys, the others helped define Irish single malt whiskey itself. An exceptional Single Malt made exclusively from malted barley, triple distilled one batch at a time in traditional copper pot stills and aged exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks for 12 years. 43% / 86 proof.
