Unlike the rest of our range with large gestures of caks influences, this cask opts for only a little smokinnes and peat, mainly on the late palate and finish. At Killowen we understand that many whiskey drinkers prefer not to drink peated whiskeys and therefore this expression offers just a small peated kiss that will satisfy 'peat heads' while welcoming those 'Non-Peat-Heads' into the fold. The biggest challenge with this range is maintaining the very high standard of previous releases while making a very different expression. Thankfully the same successful and unique Killowen blend has been introduced to a very different cask and created another top-class expression. From the outset we at Killowen Distillery have been carefully sourcing whiskeys 12, 11 and 10 years old from different distilleries all across Ireland. We also hunted the globe for the finest casks to complement certain flavour notes in the blends, this time we have gone much closer to home, a mere stone's throw away to a place inextricably linked to Ireland, in all thing's whiskey and culture-islay. This smal trip has packed a big punch. TASTING NOTES NOSE A Gentle sea breeze no the nose, with slight of cereal and lemon travel sweets, some ripe pear and fig with a subtle vanilla spice.PALATEA Combination of apricot and orchard fruits, slight petroleum with rubber on one hand with a marriage of demerara sugar, cinnamon and clove on the other.FINISHA soothing sweet peat & smoke balanced with clove & vanilla long after note of orange peal and workshop leather.
