St. Kilian Signature Edition Fifteen

If you thought whisky needed Scottish roots to impress, let St. Kilian Signature Edition Fifteen change your mind. Distilled in 2020/2021, this German single malt spent its maturation in ex-Amarone casks from the renowned Lenotti winery in Italy. The result? A bold yet elegant whisky bursting with character, fruitiness, and spice. Bottled at a punchy 53.3% ABV and limited to only 4,610 bottles, this is a dram worth savoring.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Lush aromas of dark fruits – cherries, plums, and raisins – intertwine with soft red wine notes, vanilla, and a gentle hint of wood smoke.

Palate

Full-bodied and intense, featuring layers of blackcurrant jam, bitter chocolate, cinnamon, and a dash of pepper. The Amarone influence brings a refined balance between sweetness and dryness, with a rich, creamy mouthfeel.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of candied fruit, oak, soft tannins, and a pleasant spicy afterglow.
