Cask KD041 is a remarkable example of single pot still Irish whiskey, crafted as a contemporary acknowledgment of Pure Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Produced in the distinctive Killowen style, it features a GI-compliant mashbill of malted and unmalted barley, oats, and wheat. This whiskey was matured for 3 years and 8 months in an ex-Kentucky bourbon quarter cask and finished for 7 months in a 120-litre amontillado sherry cask, adding layers of depth and complexity.
The result is a fresh and crisp Irish whiskey with an unmistakable citrusy and sweet character, perfect for those seeking an authentic Irish whiskey experience. Bottled at cask strength of 57.2% and limited to just 226 bottles, this is a rare find for any whiskey enthusiast or collector.

Nose: Fresh green apple and banana bread, mingle with subtle oak, pear drops, rock salt and workshop leather.
