Williamson Kyrburg 2025 – Rare 10 y/o Islay Single Malt

A bold Islay tribute in the exclusive Kyrburg Selection

The Williamson Kyrburg Selection 2025 is a remarkable new addition to the Kyrburg’s prestigious whisky range. This 10-year-old Islay Single Malt, bottled at a robust 56.2% ABV, represents a strictly limited single cask release that speaks to the heart of smoky whisky connoisseurs. Available only at select whisky fairs and on-site at the historic Kyrburg in Kirn an der Nahe, this bottling offers both collectors and enthusiasts a rare chance to experience Islay’s bold character in a truly distinctive expression.

Distinctive Design for a Whisky of Distinction

Presented as part of the Kyrburg Selection 2025, this bottling stands out with an elegant, minimalist label that reflects the authenticity and refinement of the spirit within. With only 100 bottles drawn from Cask No. 132, this whisky’s exclusivity is matched by a visual identity that honors its heritage and the ethos of the Kyrburg: to unite personality and tradition in every drop.

10 Years in Ex-Bourbon Cask – Pure, Unfiltered, and Uncoloured

The Williamson Kyrburg Selection 2025 matured for a full decade in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask, before being bottled at natural cask strength. In line with the uncompromising quality standards of the Kyrburg Selection, the whisky is non-chill filtered and free from artificial coloring. This allows the distillate to express the full depth of Islay’s essence—an ode to the legendary Bessie Williamson, the trailblazing former manager of Laphroaig whose name these rare unofficial releases quietly carry.
