St. Kilian 6 Y.O. ex Sherry Cask: The Black Cat Serie arrives in Germany

St. Kilian 6 Y.O. ex Sherrry Cask represents the latest 2024 bottling of Whiskyfacile's The Black Cat series.

Six and a half years of ageing in decommissioned NATO bunkers in the Odenwald mountains in Bavaria have worked a miracle and given birth to a pan-European whisky: distilled from malt from the Scottish Highlands peated at 80 ppm, aged in Germany in a former Pedro Ximenez sherry cask.

British raw material, Spanish wood, German professionalism. The result is a very deep single malt, in which the peat is reminiscent of cigar smoke and matches the notes of the PX: mint dark chocolate, coffee, dried fruit. But also burnt panettone, sultanas, cherry and blueberry jam, and a grassy, spicy dimension reminiscent of saffron. Full-bodied, enjoyably finish.
