Killowen Signature Rum & Raisin Batch 2 0.5 l
Special features: This second edition of the Killowen Rum & Raisin is a carefully crafted vatting of different cask types: Killowen Dark Rum barrels and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks. The rum initially aged in ex-bourbon barrels before the five-year-old single malt whiskey from a neighboring distillery in County Louth was finished in a 120-liter sherry cask. With 660 bottles, Batch 2 is somewhat larger than the first release, while maintaining high quality despite its young age.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh apple juice, subtle molasses, warm hints of Christmas pudding
Palate: Green apple with brown sugar, dried fruits, rum notes, coconut, and vanilla
Finish: Long-lasting with candied apple and spicy nuances
Distillery/Bottler: Killowen Whiskey comes from Ireland, specifically from a small distillery in County Louth, known for its high-quality craft whiskeys. Brendan, the owner, places great importance on hand-selected barrels and careful aging processes, resulting in characterful and complex bottlings. Distribution in Switzerland is handled by Haromex Development GmbH.
