St. Kilian 5 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
St. Kilian
Tasting Notes
Imagine taking a stroll through an orchard in autumn, the crisp air carrying the scent of ripe cherries and smoke from a nearby bonfire. That's the essence captured in this unique German single malt from St. Kilian. Upon nosing, a bouquet of dried fruits and herbaceous notes greet you, harmoniously intertwined with vibrant cherry, rich oak, and the delicate aroma of woodsmoke. The palate offers a delightful fusion of flavors, where the cherry character takes center stage, accompanied by hints of cough drops, vegetal malt, and a subtle touch of woody menthol. As the whisky lingers, the finish reveals a drying oak presence and woody spices, with the refreshing menthol notes lingering until the very end. This exceptional dram, matured for five years in cherry wine casks and smoked with beech wood during kilning, is a true symphony of flavors that transport you to a charming countryside retreat.
