Special Features:
Long maturation in a sherry cask gives this Knappogue Castle its dark fruit, chocolate and pronounced tannins. Distilled in 1997, the single malt matured for 24 years in cask number 87601. La Maison du Whisky bottled it in 2022 for the Ex Libris series, with a single-cask release of 526 bottles.
Wind of Spices belongs to the Irish selection of the Antipodes collection, which is dedicated to the writer James Joyce. The Ex Libris packaging takes its inspiration from book covers, linking the whiskies to literary works from their countries of origin. This whiskey was bottled at a cask strength of 54.4%, without chill filtration or added colouring. The bottle contains 0.7 litres and comes in gift packaging.
Tasting Notes:
Distillery/Bottler:
Knappogue Castle takes its name from a medieval castle in County Clare whose history dates back to 1467. Mark Edwin Andrews had it restored in the 20th century and also laid the foundations for the whiskey brand. Its approach follows the Irish tradition of whiskey bonding: selected spirits are tended and matured in casks before bottling. Cask selection and deciding when the spirit has reached the right stage of maturation are central to this tradition.
La Maison du Whisky is the bottler of this edition. Through Ex Libris, it explores whisky regions beyond Scotland, releasing both single casks and small batches at natural cask strength. Literature is integral to the concept, with each selection inspired by writers from the respective country or region.
