Kai Vodka (Vietnam); 40% abv (Vietnam)
FEATUREDCrystal clear. The nose is amazingly floral, fruity (peach and ripe apples) with accents of mineral, and a persistent sweetness. The palate is fresh while a bit pithier than expected adding a semi-tart note and quick finish. A delicate style.
Kai “Lychee” Vodka (Vietnam); 35% abv (Vietnam)
FEATUREDCrystal clear. The nose explodes with the aroma of ripe, sweet lychee is a vanilla, spring flower, and honey syrup. The palate is assertively sweet with accents of white pepper, clove, and sandalwood. This unique flavored Vodka eagerly awaits and endless array of cocktail possibilities.
Kalashnikov Vodka (Russia); 41% abv (Russia)
Crystal clear. A relatively assertive nose offering aromas of wet grains, river stones, and petrol. Light in body with a sharp pithy edge. Angular on the palate with a lingering minerality.
Kellan Irish Whiskey (Ireland); 40% abv (Ireland)
Brilliant, bright copper color. The nose reveals a gorgeous honeyed fruit core with evidence of a sweet malt component and accents of roasted cashew, toasted grain, and treacle. The palate agrees with the nose being a bit drier than expected with an interesting dark chocolate and coffee note on the finish. A real charmer.
Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey (Ireland); 40% abv (Ireland)
Rich golden color. The nose reveals a light, grain focused Whiskey with hints of honey, pepper, clove, and a green grassy accent. The palate delivers on the promise of the nose. The Whiskey’s edges and finish are vibrant and zesty but well integrated with the Whiskey’s core. This Whiskey seems to be back on track once again offering soft, fruit and grain flavors with style and grace.
Knappogue Castle “Single Malt” 15 yr old Irish Whiskey (Ireland); 43% abv (Ireland)
Brilliant pale gold color. The nose is incredibly beautiful and complex seamlessly weaving aromas of sweet grains and caramelized tropical fruits (pineapple, banana, & coconut) with accents of tea biscuits and candied ginger. The palate echoes the same notes being supple and lush with a hint of spice and a touch of wood. This great Whiskey is a marriage of casks from 1990, 91, and 92. I found it to at its best with a splash of water.
Knappogue Castle “Single Malt” 1995 Irish Whiskey (Ireland); 40% abv (Ireland)
Pale gold/straw color. A seductive and complex nose of wild honey, toasted grain, wild flowers, butterscotch, and oak. The palate is soft with delicate malt notes accented by hints of pepper, vanilla, and a firm dose of oak. Classically round and melodious with a slightly sweet note that becomes decidedly drier on the finish. Slainte!
Kübler Absinthe (Switzerland); 53% abv (Switzerland)
Crystal clear. The nose is bright filling the nose with anise and dark star anise with accents of coriander, fennel seed, and caraway (although not listed as one of their botanicals) as represented in dark rye bread. The palate is lush, rich, and round being quite assertive while not at all spirity or cloying. A pleasing example of European Absinthe.
