Product details
Ki One Batch 2 represents an exciting continuation of Korea's first single malt whisky journey, crafted by Three Societies. The name "Ki One" itself, meaning "the beginning and hope," encapsulates the spirit of this pioneering distillery as it brings Korea's whisky-making craft to the world. With Batch 2, Ki One introduces a new dimension to its flavor profile by blending virgin American oak with first fill ex-bourbon barrels. This combination enhances the whisky’s complexity, building on the foundation set by Batch 1, which was known for its bold and spicy character, emblematic of Korean cuisine.
In Batch 2, the influence of the bourbon casks adds layers of richness to the whisky. On the nose, you'll encounter inviting aromas of caramel and wood spice, hinting at the depth to come. The palate offers a symphony of baked apple, vanilla bean, sultanas, and ripe plum, delivering a balanced sweetness against a backdrop of spicy Korean heat. The finish is long and satisfying, with rich oak and toffee notes leading into the signature spiciness that defines Ki One’s distinctive style. This batch embodies the fusion of traditional whisky-making with Korean cultural elements, making it an exceptional addition to the growing world of single malt whisky.
