Knappogue Castle 24 years 1997/2022 - Ex-Libris - Wind of Spices

A castle, the story of a giant, a rare 24-year-old Irish whiskey – this bottling is straight out of a fairytale. Knappogue Castle 1997/2022 is part of the new Ex Libris series from La Maison du Whisky. The series is dedicated entirely to world whisky, with labels modeled on the covers of great literary classics and bottlings named after key works from their countries of origin.

Knappogue Castle is open to visitors. However, there is no distillery at the site of the 15th-century castle. Its whiskey history only began in the mid-1960s – when Irish whiskey production was at an all-time low. The castle's then owner, Marc Andrews, purchased the remaining stocks of closed distilleries and laid the foundation for the Knappogue Castle brand. What Andrews started for private use was successfully continued by his son.
