In 1966, Mark Edwin Andrews bought Knappogue Castle, a partially abandoned 15th century Irish castle. He and his wife embarked on an ambitious restoration project in an attempt to restore the structure to its original state of glory and grandeur. It was at this time that Andrews began purchasing casks of fine wine and whiskey from the country's finest distilleries.
Knappogue (pronounced Nah 'Pogue) translates kissing hill in Gaelic. Such a romantic word fits perfectly with the enthralling taste of these whiskies that encapsulate history, tradition and a hint of romance.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
