KYTHREA SINGLE MALT CYPRUS WHISKEY – CASK STRENGTH – Kythrea Barley
The abundant sunshine and the rich volcanic soil are the secret combination behind the unique character and intense aroma of the grains, botanicals, and fruit grown on the island of Cyprus. We work exclusively with local sources to produce unique spirits that reflect the beautiful nature of our island, from the field to this bottle.
Aristides Distilling is proud to be at the forefront of the Cyprus Whisky movement with our “Kythrea” whisky series brand. Continuing this path, we present the first Single Malt Cyprus Whisky, born from our local six-row barley variety, “Kythrea”. Malted, mashed-in, fermented, distilled, and aged in ex-bourbon American oak casks at our distillery in Tseri, Nicosia, this unique whisky has a deep color with ruby tones, a rich-aromatic nose, and a smooth, fruity, sweet, zesty character, making this first of its kind Single Malt Whisky, a must-try!
These elements combine to create a whisky that is both robust and nuanced, appealing to those who enjoy bolder, yet masterfully balanced flavors.
