Single Malt Irish Whiskey | 92 Proof (46% ABV) | 750 mL
Knappogue Castle 14 Year Old “Twin Wood” is a Napa-style Irish single malt created by Irish Distillers (Pernod Ricard). It combines two cask influences—bourbon barrel and Oloroso sherry—for a harmonious hybrid. The whiskey is triple-distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged for a full 14 years in Ireland’s temperate climate. Each batch is non-chill filtered and bottled at 92 proof, selected by expert tasters to highlight its twin cask maturation.
Nose: Green apple, apricot, peach, and honey-soaked apricot kernels with soft vanilla and light grapefruit
Palate: Rich dried fruit, nutty notes, vanilla custard, tropical melon, and baking spice
Finish: Medium-long with barley grain, white pepper, toasted oak, and a lingering honey and citrus zest
Dual maturation in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks for layered complexity
Aged to 14 years to deepen flavors while maintaining smooth Irish malt character
Non-chill filtered to preserve texture and nuance at 92 proof
Limited edition with curated cask selection
Excellent value relative to age and twin cask craftsmanship
Best sipped neat or gently rested with a drop of water to open the flavors. Works beautifully in a neat pour at room temperature, or with desserts like fruit tarts or almond biscotti. Also makes a refined base for a Savory Penicillin-style cocktail with honey and ginger.
