The Athru Knocknarea is a 14-year-old single malt Irish whiskey from the renowned Lough Gill Distillery. This limited edition release is capped at 6,600 bottles, making it a sought-after item for whiskey connoisseurs. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 48%, this exquisite whiskey is presented in a 700 ml bottle. This unique creation begins its journey maturing for 11 years in ex-bourbon American oak casks, and then undergoes a meticulous finishing process for at least three years in the finest Oloroso sherry casks, located beside the serene Lough Gill. This intricate aging process imparts a distinctive and complex flavor profile to the whiskey. Lough Gill Distillery, situated on a small peninsula in Lough Gill lake near Sligo and surrounded by the enchanting Hazelwood Forest, is known for its high production capacity of over 1 million liters of whiskey per year. The distillery also serves as a hub for other producers, offering its state-of-the-art warehouses for whiskey aging. Athru Knocknarea is part of Lough Gill’s original whiskey trilogy and is crafted from a triple distillate of malted barley. The whiskey boasts a complex array of flavors, featuring notes of brown sugar, raisins, Christmas spices, and caramel, with a peppery and rooty finish. Its high alcohol content and distinct absence of fruit notes set it apart from other Irish whiskeys. The whiskey is named after Knocknarea, an iconic mountain in the west of Sligo city, believed to be the final resting place of the legendary warrior queen Maeve. Presented in an elegant manner, this Irish whiskey is designed to be appreciated and savored in its purest form, enabling enthusiasts to fully experience its rich and intricate flavors.
