Killowen Rum & Raisin Whiskey

Killowen Rum & Raisin Whiskey is a distinct Irish whiskey from the Killowen Distillery in County Down, celebrated for its unique approach to cask finishing. This expression starts with a blend of Irish whiskeys, which is then meticulously finished in casks previously used to age high-quality Caribbean rum and plump, sweet raisins. This secondary maturation imparts a rich and decadent character, weaving together the traditional whiskey profile with layers of tropical sweetness and dark fruit. On the nose, expect notes of caramelized sugar, warm baking spice, and dried dark fruit. The palate is velvety, offering flavors of rich molasses, vanilla, and a satisfying depth of spiced raisin, culminating in a long, warming finish. This rare and flavorful whiskey appeals to enthusiasts seeking innovation and complexity.
