Kirkinriola Portuguese Red Wine Single Cask

Kirkinriola Portuguese Red Wine Single Cask

Triple-Distilled Pot Still Whisky

Single Cask Series

Portuguese Red Wine Barrique

PPM: 0

This particular Kirkinriola special release single cask comes from a select Portuguese recharred red wine barrique imported from Europe. This barrique underwent the Dr. Jim Swan shave-toast-rechar (STR) preparation and gives a wonderfully complex nose with apricot, papaya, pears, honey, oats, and sherried fruit cake. The palate is creamy and full bodied with cereal and a symphony of floral and fruit notes including roses, honey, nectarine, papaya, apricot, apples & candied orange. Layered into this are red wine, blackcurrant, wood spices and a lingering oak finish with a hint of sea breeze befitting our Vancouver Island distillery.
