Macaloney’s Kildara Canadian Single Malt Whisky
Out of stock
Kildara, our Whiskymaker’s Signature Expression, was married from a select combination of Kentucky Bourbon, Spanish Oloroso, virgin American, and Spanish Pedro Ximénez (PX) casks. The result is a full bodied, triple distilled single potstill, island whisky with pronounced Oloroso and PX notes including dried fruit cake, vanilla crème laced with cinnamon, demerara sugar, and old seasoned leather notes. Abundant tropical fruits include candied orange, dried apricot, figs, ripe blackberries, blackcurrant jam, dried raisins and roasted nuts. The complexity continues with barley, malt and dried hay, butterscotch, milk chocolate, light tobacco and ocean breeze.
The palate is velvety-soft, resplendent with full bodied Sherry and tropical fruit. Oatmeal develops to oak spices, coffee, dark chocolate orange, nectarines, stewed plums, blackcurrant, red currant and sultanas, coming together as sweet dark fruitcake and honey. The finish presents dried fruit with a hint of salt and dulse, lingering oak and more Sherry, ending with hazelnut and almond raspberry pie with a drizzle of dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper edges and a warm mahogany core, a sunlit glow suggestive of sherry influence.
Nose
Opulent sherry aromas unfold: Oloroso and PX sweetness with dried fruit cake, candied orange, apricot, figs and raisins, blackcurrant jam. Vanilla cream and cinnamon mingle with butterscotch, milk chocolate and roasted nuts, while subtle leather, tobacco and barley malt deepen the bouquet with a sea breeze lift.
Palate
Velvety-soft on the palate, this is full-bodied Sherry and tropical fruit perfume. Oatmeal yields to oak spices, coffee and dark chocolate-orange; nectarines, stewed plums, blackcurrant and red currant mingle with sultanas into a sweet dark fruitcake and honey. The finish lingers with dried fruit, a hint of salt and dulse, lingering oak and more Sherry, then hazelnut and almond raspberry pie with a drizzle of dark chocolate.
Finish
Dried fruit lingers with a hint of salt and dulse, followed by lingering oak and more Sherry, finishing with hazelnut and almond raspberry pie crowned by a drizzle of dark chocolate.
