Macaloney's Kirkinriola Red Wine STR

Macaloney's Kirkinriola is a rich, complex single malt whisky from Macaloney's Caledonian Distillery in British Columbia, Canada. This expression is part of their STR (Shaved, Toasted & Re-charred red wine cask series), a maturation style pioneered by Dr. Jim Swan to enhance fruitiness and depth. Named after the Kirkinriola parish in Ireland, this whisky pays homage to the distillery founder’s Celtic roots.
