KILLOWEN TRIAIL – EXPERIMENTAL POITÍN SET

This newsletter is to introduce you all to an upcoming, highly experimental, Killowen release known as Trial. Among all our many experiments in Killowen, we also like to play with yeast.

This is a controlled experiment where mashbill, fermentations, distillation cuts and ABV are all kept the same allowing one variable, Yeast. The aim is to see if yeast has an influence on flavour and you the consumer will be apart of this live experiment. There is also a sensory card in each box which will require you to record all the flavours you find, record them as live data then email a photo of your findings back to us, you will also get the opportunity to name a new yeast strain. Please do not be daunted by the flavour analysis as there are no wrong answers and everyone’s opinion matters.

Although we had most eagerly awaited this release for some time, the social media group ‘Friends of Irish Whiskey’ requested it be released with their members. As this group have been so kind to us in the past we eventually agreed first refusal to them.

This is a great opportunity for those with an open mind who are in search for big, bold and fantastic flavours. There are only 130 of these Poitín sets, each set contains 3 x 375ml bottles, so over a litre of liquid, All bottled @ 60% abv.

If you are curious about the Poitín and all the fantastic flavours that it has to offer, then this is for you. These 144 sets are exclusive to the Friends of Irish Whiskey group and the cost is £75 per set plus postage. The sets will be sold through the Killowen website after the link is released on Friends of Irish Whiskey social media pages.

As sensory data is required these sets need to be opened and tasted as a condition of sale. Gentleman’s agreement

***THESE SETS ARE NOT FOR COLLECTING***

Release Date – Tuesday 18th April 2023 – 4pm (GMT)
