EX LIBRIS - Knappogue Castle 1996 - The Remarkable Rocket - Bottled in 2021 - 53.10%
La Maison du Whisky makes a remarkable entrance by launching its very first range entirely dedicated to exceptional whiskies from around the world: Ex Libris. This prestigious collection begins with a rigorous selection from the renowned Irish Distillers group, highlighting three exceptional vintage Irish Single Malts from 1994, 1995, and 1996, all bottled under the iconic Knappogue Castle brand. Additionally, the Ex Libris range also offers an exceptional 22-year-old Canadian Rye Whisky, a true gem for discerning enthusiasts. This collection is deeply inspired by a sophisticated literary universe: each label evokes the aesthetic of covers of essential literary masterpieces, and each edition bears the name of a significant literary work emblematic of its country of origin. Thus, the Irish whiskeys pay a vibrant tribute to the stories of the legendary Irish writer Oscar Wilde, while the Canadian whiskey draws inspiration from the novel "Son of a Smaller Hero" by the Anglo-Canadian author Mordecai Richler.
Knappogue Castle "The Remarkable Rocket" is an exceptional Single Malt aged 25 years, carefully distilled in 1996. After meticulous triple distillation, this exceptional whiskey was patiently matured in a single Bourbon cask. This exceptional cask (#5629) allowed the exclusive creation of only 200 numbered bottles, intended for lovers of rare and refined whiskies.
