NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Castle Brands Inc.
(NYSE American: ROX), a developer and international marketer of
premium and super-premium drinks brands, today announced that its
Knappogue Castle Single Malt Irish Whiskey has launched a special
barrel release of its 12-year-old single malt Irish whiskey.
Bottled at 92 proof, the rare expression comes with a personalized
gifting option in time for the festive season. For $65, those wishing to send a unique gift can
provide a specific name and message to be calligraphed onto the
bottle and delivered to their chosen
recipient.
Produced from a handpicked number of barrels containing
Knappogue Castle 12 Year, this special release is non-chill
filtered and triple distilled in copper pot stills. Differing from
the original 12-Year edition, which is bottled at 80 proof, the
special release is aged in first-fill bourbon barrels for stronger
oak influence. The resulting whiskey boasts a rich, biscuity, and
slightly peppery aroma, followed by an elegant fruitiness and mild
spice flavors on the palate.
Offered for a limited time with only a small production run,
this special batch is available for purchase with custom engraved
labels at online retailer Reserve Bar. For more information, please

About Knappogue Castle Irish Whiskey
Knappogue, pronounced Nah'pogue (as in "brogue" brōɡ/ or "vogue"
vōɡ/), translates to "hill of the kiss" in Gaelic and is named
after a beautiful 15th century castle that stands in County Clare, Ireland. The castle was
purchased in the 1960s by Mark Edwin
Andrews and his wife. He was a pioneer, known for collecting
and bottling single malt and pure pot still whiskey at a time when
only blended whiskey was popular in Ireland and around the world.
Knappogue Castle Single Malt Irish Whiskey is made from malted
barley, triple distilled a batch at a time in copper pot stills and
aged in ex-bourbon oak casks. The Knappogue Castle portfolio
includes the 12, 14, 16 year old and, of course, the renowned
Knappogue Castle 1951, revered by connoisseurs as the oldest and
rarest Irish whiskey commercially available. For more information,
