St. Kilian Signature Edition FIFTEEN: A Peated Masterpiece in Amarone Casks

St. Kilian Fifteen edition
A bold fusion of peat smoke and rich red wine maturation
St. Kilian Distillers introduces its latest limited release, the St. Kilian Signature Edition Fifteen, a single malt whisky that masterfully blends intense peat smoke with the luxurious depth of Amarone cask aging. Officially launching on February 14, 2025, this new edition is a tribute to the distillery’s expertise and innovation. Whisky enthusiasts can taste it firsthand at The Village whisky fair in Nuremberg and Whisky Spring in Schwetzingen.
Exquisite design and presentation
Encased in St. Kilian’s iconic 0.5-liter pot still-shaped bottle, the St. Kilian Signature Edition Fifteen embodies exclusivity and craftsmanship. The whisky’s natural amber hue with reddish reflections reflects its Amarone cask maturation, while its non-chill-filtered and natural color guarantee an authentic tasting experience. Priced at €49.90, this release is an accessible luxury for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Tasting Notes

A statement from the Master Distiller
Mario Rudolf, Master Distiller at St. Kilian, shares his insight on the creation:
"The Amarone casks from Claudio Lenotti are truly unique, offering extraordinary depth and complexity. With St. Kilian Signature Edition Fifteen, we sought to craft a smoky counterpart to our beloved Signature Edition TWO. The result is a whisky with a bold personality and an authentic soul. I am certain we have achieved something exceptional."
