Judas Priest

One of the greatest bands of heavy metal, Judas Priest, celebrates its 50th anniversary. Reason enough for St. Kilian Distillers to dedicate another Heavy Metal Edition to the legendary band from Birmingham.

Limited to 12,300 bottles, the "50 Heavy Metal Years" Anniversary Edition got its unique character from barley malt gently smoked over beechwood fires.

For the strictly limited "Angel of Retribution" edition, however, Ultra Heavily Peated barley malt with 91 "parts per million" (ppm) was used, which comes directly from the Scottish Highlands and embodies heavy metal in its purest form. A total of 950 bottles were bottled of this four-year-old single malt, which received a unique full maturation in French 300-liter ex-Pineau des Charentes casks and offers a true flavor explosion of peat smoke, fruit and spice. At the World Whiskies Awards 2023 "Angel of Retribution" received the Category Winner award and the gold medal.
