Kildalton Christmas Malt

The Kildalton Christmas Malt is a special Malt Whisky with a unique story. “Born on Islay” but matured in the vault of Wijn- en Whiskyspecialist Van der Boog, this festive release was finished in a 50-litre funky rum cask – small in size but bold in flavour. The result is a rich and playful mix of soft, tropical sweetness and classic peaty depth, perfectly suited for the holiday season.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Lush and inviting with aromas of vanilla, banana and sugarcane, intertwined with peat smoke, sea breeze and a hint of citrus. The funky rum finish adds a tropical twist to the smoky Islay base.

Palate

Full-bodied and vibrant with notes of honey, pineapple, toffee and caramelised sugar. Waves of peat smoke, iodine and clove follow, while the rum cask brings creamy sweetness and roundness to the palate.

Finish

Long and warming with lingering notes of peat, tropical fruit and molasses. A beautifully balanced dram combining sweetness, salt and smoke – the perfect whisky to enjoy by the fire at Christmas.

Wijn- en Whiskyspecialist van der Boog

Wijn- en Whiskyspecialist van der Boog is an independent Dutch specialist drinks retailer based in Rijswijk and forms one family business together with the Passie voor Whisky and Passion for Whisky online stores. From its physical shop, a passion for whisky developed into a broad selection of distinctive spirits, wine and beer, with particular attention to smaller producers, independent bottlers and products that are not widely available.

Alongside established brands, Van der Boog also selects distinctive casks and small parcels of its own. Working with distilleries, producers and independent bottlers, exclusive whisky, rum, Cognac and other spirits are released for the Dutch market. Local products and special bottlings are also presented under various in house labels.

Personal advice and direct contact with enthusiasts remain an important part of the shop. Tastings are held in its dedicated whisky vault in Rijswijk, while long standing relationships with producers and bottlers provide a continuous search for interesting new releases. Van der Boog therefore combines the tradition of a Dutch specialist liquor store with the world of distinctive and carefully selected spirits.
