Killowen Distillery announces first 5 year old Barántúil Irish whiskey
This Single Pot Still is a signature Killowen that has spent 4 years and one month in an ex Bourbon before spending another 17 months in Palo Cortado. This Pot Still boasts different flavours than any before, not just because of the older spirit but also because of the different cask expressions. The Palo Cortado Sherry allows beautiful rich, bold, full-bodied juicy notes that balance perfectly with the oily Killowen DNA.
Limited release of 227 bottles, each bottled at 58.12% ABV and retailing for £99.99 for a 500ml bottle. Available from their online store here at 4pm today.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose
This arrival is new to Killowen Barántúil, the sherried nose has more citrus than normal but the pot still spice is still lovely
Taste
Frosted orange sweets (candy) with pine sap and lemon rind, sticky in texture
Finish
A refreshing return from the sweet side back to centre, with drier spices tingling among dried fruits of orange and sultana
