We also loved the Knappogue Castle 1994 single malt, an exceptionally delicate and complex whiskey...
Cool it, wine lover, but how chilled depends on you
The Star Ledger, March 2008
Knappogue Castle ... has the flavor of an Irish whiskey but the character of a true single malt.

Cigar Aficionado, August 2007
Knappogue 1990
... a big candy-apple nose and a back note of cheese ... floral notes were prevalent on the palate...
Knappogue 1991
...The flavor was that of classic Irish whiskey, with lots of floral notes, some spice and perfume...
Knappogue 1993
... It loaded the mouth with licorice … plenty of wood and nuts coming through...
Knappogue 1995
...a little bit of everything … Wood from the Bourbon barrel was prominent, with notes of cheese and perfume.
Whiskey: Give It a Shot
Men's Fitness, November 2007
For years, the only kind of Irish whiskey you could get in the U.S was a blend... There's now a growing selection from the Emerald Isle, including the Knappogue Castle 1995. Triple distilled and aged in old bourbon casks, this whiskey is especially smooth.
