Bud Spencer The Legend Whisky - Rauchig (Peated)

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 49% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

For this smoky Bud Spencer The Legend release, St. Kilian combines single malt matured in Italian Amarone red-wine casks and American bourbon casks. The spirit was distilled twice in copper pot stills, and the whisky matured for more than three years in these types of cask. Peated malt from the Scottish Highlands gives it a bold smoky character, while the cask selection adds fruity and sweet notes.

The whisky is bottled at 49% alcohol in a 0.7-litre bottle. It is neither chill-filtered nor coloured.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Intense, ashy smoke and spice lead on the nose. Red grapes and banana follow, accompanied by vanilla and toffee.
• Palate: The whisky opens distinctly sweet on the palate. Bold smoke and a light caramel note give way to peppery spice and dry notes.
• Finish: The finish is full-bodied and long-lasting, with spicy notes of smoke.

Distillery/Bottler:

St. Kilian Distillers makes this single malt in Rüdenau, Lower Franconia. In 2012, founder Andreas Thümmler developed the plans for the distillery with David F. Hynes; the first spirit flowed from its two Forsyth copper pot stills in 2016. St. Kilian works with barley malt and a variety of cask types. The Bud Spencer The Legend range was created through a licensing partnership centred on Bud Spencer.
