An American & his Irish castle full of whiskey

February 14, 2019

In this week’s episode of Stories & Sips, we’re going to delve deep into the past to discover the Hollywood-esque story of an American, his Irish castle and the legacy of the incredible whiskeys he left behind – three of which I sip on in this episode – three single malts of distinction from Knappogue Castle, a name inspired by a famous castle in County Clare in Ireland.

This is an incredible story of Irish ancestry, restoration, whiskey deals and whiskey unicorns and I throw in a few tourist spots to visit in Clare to tack onto your visit to Knappogue Castle too.
