Description

A single pot still Irish whiskey produced at the long-lost B. Daly distillery, former home of Tullamore Dew before its 1960s transfer to Powers at John's Lane. The distillery closed 3 years later and this whiskey stock was discovered in the basement of Knappogue Castle by it's new owner, Mark Edwin Andrews. Distilled in 1951 and bottled in 1987 under the castle's name. This is an Official Bottling. * * Distillery Bottling is a term used to define a whisky bottled by the company that produced it, using the official branding of the distillery itself. This is also known as an "official bottling" or sometimes shortened to OB.
