This bottling of a St. Kilian Single Malt as a Private Cask was produced especially for the Seelmann Collection and was named The Soul of St. Kilian Vol. 22. The whisky matured for 3 years in a European oak cask and is peated. The bottle is accompanied by a copy of St. Kilian's certificate of issue.
Optik: Dunkleres, von Gold ins Bernstein übergehendes Gelb.
Nase: Auch hier wirkt das torfige Bouquet komplex und interessant. Im Vergleich zum Ex-European Oak jedoch leichter, beinahe blumig und deutlich zitruslastig. Mit der Zeit entwickelt er dunklere Fruchtnoten wie Datteln. Dazu kommen Vanillezucker und schwarzer Pfeffer.
Geschmack: Trotz seiner 58,7% Vol. spüre ich hier keinen Alkohol – also ebenfalls gut eingebunden! Der Malt ist runder, etwas weniger rauchig im Gaumen als der Vol. 15, und es ist eher Holz aus dem Wald, das hier brennt. Ich nehme Noten von Kirsche, Espresso und Erde wahr. Bei diesem Kumpanen ist der Charakter der St. Kilian Destillerie noch mehr in den Hintergrund gerückt, was ich sehr gelungen finde. Er hat auch markante Ecken und Kanten, was gut passt.
Finish: Runder und längerer Abgang, Eichenholz, Schokolade und Vanillezucker. Deutliche Rauchnoten sind ebenfalls vorhanden, jedoch etwas abgerundeter.
