St. Kilian Releases Its Christmas Edition 2026, a Festive German Single Malt
A Christmas Bottling from Franconia
St. Kilian Distillers in Rüdenau, Lower Franconia, has released a special bottling in time for Christmas: the St. Kilian Christmas Edition 2026 50cl. It is a German single malt whisky, released at the end of October 2026.
St. Kilian has marked the season before, with the St. Kilian Distillers 2016/2017 Winter Edition Merry Christmas.
The Bottle
The Christmas Edition comes in a matte black bottle that makes the label stand out. The label is red and shows a stylised Santa Claus face above the words Merry Christmas.
Practical details are printed on the label as well: Single Malt Whisky, 500 ML and 46% VOL. The 50 cl size suits a bottle meant to be opened over the holidays or given as a gift.
Official Tasting Notes
The nose opens with overripe red apple and juicy pear on creamy vanilla, followed by a warm fruit compote with a hint of dark cherry, butter biscuit and delicate coconut.
The palate is mild and fruity. Ripe grapes and cherry give an elegant vinous character, with soft toffee and a fine cereal note, and a subtle touch of cinnamon adds depth. In the finish the fruit fades first, then creamy vanilla and a hint of delicate milk chocolate remain.
Availability
The St. Kilian Christmas Edition 2026 is bottled at 46% ABV in a 50 cl bottle and carries a price of €49.90.
On Spiritory it is listed as St. Kilian Christmas Edition 2026 50cl.
