St. Kilian Classic Mild & Fruity is a German single malt whisky crafted from 100% pure barley malt. It matures in a combination of bourbon casks (70%) and Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks (30%), resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile.
The whisky offers a multi-layered aroma with notes of ripe apricots, peaches, yellow plums, and plantains, blended with creamy vanilla and subtle hints of oak spice, fresh mint, and sage. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of sweetness and warmth, featuring flavors of apricots and peaches, creamy toffee, spicy oak, and a touch of white pepper, rounded off with a hint of fresh mint.
