Knappogue Castle 14 Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey Twin Wood 750ml is a refined limited release expression that showcases extended aging and dual cask maturation. Triple distilled and matured for fourteen years, this single malt is aged in both bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks, creating a beautifully balanced and layered profile.
Non chill filtered and crafted in small batches, this expression delivers enhanced depth compared to younger Knappogue releases. The twin wood maturation brings together creamy vanilla sweetness from bourbon oak and rich dried fruit complexity from sherry casks.
Elegant, smooth, and structured, this is an excellent step up for customers looking for a more mature Irish single malt without overwhelming spice or peat.
