Cask #KDC186 Oloroso 60.44% ABV

About

Killowen's Cask #KDC186 is a remarkable expression of Irish Single Pot Still whisky at full strength, finished in Oloroso. At 60.44% ABV, this rare bottling demonstrates the viscosity and flavour intensity that only the most exceptional spirits can achieve. Killowen, a craft distillery rooted in Northern Ireland's heritage, marries traditional Irish whiskymaking with contemporary expertise, and this cask exemplifies their commitment to quality over quantity. The nose reveals gingerbread, apricot, and sultana, complemented by almond paste and nutmeg. The palate unfolds with baked fig tart dusted with brown sugar and subtle pine needle notes. The finish is elegant and lingering, with nutmeg over baked apple and peach—a gorgeous showcase of pot still spice done right. This is a full-bodied, powerful whisky that welcomes water, but should first be savoured neat.
