Whisky Indulgence to Round Off the Year – Impressive St. Kilian Online Whisky Tasting

The last St. Kilian Online Whisky Tasting 2023 with Mario Rudolf, Andreas Kreser and Christoph Albietz with special guest Steffen Lohr from the STORK CLUB Whiskey Distillery.

Rüdenau, December 2023
The last St. Kilian Online Whisky Tasting of the year on December 28, 2023, was once again a great success. The highlight of the enjoyable evening was undoubtedly the tasting of the barrel sample of the St. Kilian "Lucky No. 7" bottling, which will be bottled on January 18, 2024, after seven years of maturation, as the oldest St. Kilian Single Malt Whisky to date.

Further highlights included the presentation of the two blended whiskies "Fifty Fifty Mild" and "Fifty Fifty Peated", results of the long-standing collaboration between St. Kilian Distillers and the German STORK CLUB Whiskey Distillery. In addition, Steffen Lohr, founder and managing director of the Brandenburg STORK CLUB Whiskey Distillery, presented the nearly cask-strength Stork Club Full Proof Rye Whiskey. Furthermore, the numerous whisky fans enjoyed the premiere of a mild and smoky St. Kilian single cask bottling as well as a mild hand-filled from a former Cognac cask. As a grand finale, the tasting participants savored the full-bodied banana cream liqueur Bud Spencer – BANANA JOE.

The anticipation among whisky connoisseurs was immense, with approximately 1,300 tasting sets containing the eight exclusive samples being sent out in advance. The response after the new products were released in the online shop on the tasting evening was also extremely positive. Within minutes, the "Lucky No. 7" single malt whisky, limited to 370 bottles, was completely sold out. The "ex Tokaji Aszú" single cask bottling, limited to 350 bottles, also quickly found its enthusiasts.
