Killowen Burgundy Cask Irish Whiskey 375ml

Killowen 10 Year Old Bonded Experimental Series Burgundy Cask is a rare, small-batch blended Irish whiskey finished in ex-Pinot Noir casks from Burgundy, delivering a vibrant, fruity profile.

Product Highlights

• Description: Part of Killowen's highly transparent Bonded Experimental Series, this meticulous blend consists of 75% grain Irish whiskey, 20% single malt, and 5% single pot still whiskey. Initially matured for 10 to 12 years in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and ex-sherry butts, it is married and finished in a French oak Burgundy Pinot Noir wine cask to layer in delicate, dark summer fruit notes and European oak spice.

• Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: Sweet and bright, opening with golden granulated sugar, vanilla custard, banana chips, honeysuckle, and strawberry jam on toast.

  • Palate: Luxurious and sweet upfront, featuring lemon cheesecake, vanilla sponge cake, plum, and fresh blackberry jam. The mid-palate transitions swiftly into punchy notes of pepper, clove, ginger, and tannic oak.

  • Finish: Long and intricate, trailing off with a dry mineral snap, pine needles, milk chocolate, and dark berry fruits.

• Pairing Suggestions: Pairs beautifully with decadent desserts like a fresh lemon meringue tart, mixed berry cobbler, or white chocolate mousse. For a savory contrast, it works wonderfully with creamy, pungent cheeses like Roquefort, or rich, pan-seared duck breast with a blackberry reduction.
