A whiskey that has been matured in a combination of American Bourbon casks, Sherry butts and Sicilian Marsala wine casks. Its name originates from the Mitchell family’s whiskey bonding business, whereby different casks would be marked with a spot of paint, such as; Blue Spot, Green Spot, Yellow Spot & Red Spot. Until now, this whiskey had yet to be revived, however, it gives us great pleasure to welcome its return.
The 16 year old Knappogue Castle is a fantastic single malt that has been made using unpeated barley and was triple distilled at Bushmills distillery. A first period of maturation was done in ex-Bourbon barrels before and final marrying and finishing period in Oloroso Sherry casks. A limited release, this new bottling has more sherry cask influence and is bottled at 43%.
Master winner at the Irish Whiskey Masters 2023! This is both richer and more complex than the standard twelve year old Knappogue Castle. Named ‘Twin Wood’ because both Bourbon and Sherry cask types have been used for the maturation. It seems that the sherry casks have added to the body and depth and also brought some spice and dried fruit flavours. Like most of the current Knappogue Castle whiskeys this was made using unpeated, triple distilled single malt whiskey from a Northern Irish distillery. Limited numbers were made of this whiskey and it is bottled un-chilfiltered and at 46%.
Powers presents Ireland’s first ever 100% rye whiskey. Complex and full of character, this unique whiskey boasts fruity notes of orange, maraschino cherries, and toffee banana with rich warming notes of freshly baked rye bread, buttered croissants and charred oak on the nose with candied ginger with orange peel, clove spice and peppermint on the palate with a long, lingering finish with hints of honey-glazed fruits and rich cereals.
