InterWhisky is one of the most renowned whisky fairs in Germany, attracting enthusiasts and lovers of fine spirits from all over the world every year. From 24 to 26 November 2023, the 24th edition of the fair promises a very special highlight in the stylish ambience of the Gesellschaftshaus Palmengarten in the form of the "Merry Christmas" winter edition specially selected by St. Kilian Distillers.

The limited edition single cask bottling gets its unique character from barley malt, which is gently smoked over a beechwood fire. The smoky distillate then matured for six years in a 225 litre French oak cask, in which Danish cherry wine was previously stored for at least 30 months. The result is a gently smoky, multi-layered single malt whisky with a juicy fruit sweetness of red cherries that harmonises perfectly with the dark chocolate notes and captures the magic of Christmas in a bottle with remarkable depth.

Available in limited quantities from Friday 24 November
The St. Kilian Winter Edition "Merry Christmas" is strictly limited. The single malt whisky has been neither coloured nor chill-filtered and has an alcohol content of 51.6% vol. in a total of 492 bottles with the iconic still shape. The bottles of this exclusive special edition will be available from Friday, 24 November 2023 at St. Kilian Distillers' InterWhisky trade fair stand and in the distillery's online shop.
