The St. Kilian novelties for the Bud Spencer & Terence Hill Online Tasting in detail:

"Sie nannten ihn Spencer" (They Called Him Spencer) – Unpeated (limited to 486 bottles): Inspired by the cult documentary about the unforgettable film legend Bud Spencer, this three-year-old bottling embodies lived dreams and pure joie de vivre in every facet. Matured in hand-picked barrique casks that previously contained Sicilian Marsala Ambra liqueur wine, this mild, unpeated single malt whisky unfolds a fascinatingly intense and multifaceted aroma. Its unique label in Braille underlines the special characteristics of this whisky. Notes of dried fruits, fine almonds and blossom honey combine with the warming presence of oak and noble spices to form a harmonious composition that completes the deep, characterful structure of the whisky. Every drop is reminiscent of the unmistakable strength and warmth that made Bud Spencer so unique. Every sip reflects the perfect blend of sweet elegance and powerful intensity.
