An artistic interpretation of the tasting notes found in our "Kildalton" 19yo Islay Blended Malt

Hey everyone,

We’re thrilled to unveil our latest masterpiece at Living Souls – our “Kildalton” 19yo Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. As we continue our journey of bringing exceptional spirits to life, this release embodies our passion for not just crafting whisky but sharing stories that resonate with the soul of every whisky enthusiast.

The Inspiration Behind Our Whisky

Picture this: a nostalgic evening around a bonfire on a remote beach, waves crashing nearby as you share stories with friends. That’s the experience we've aimed to capture with this “Kildalton” release. It’s about evoking the tranquil yet rugged beauty of Islay’s coastline. Each sip of this 19yo blended malt is designed to take you on a journey, as if you're walking along an Islay beach, where the salty sea air mingles with the aroma of an old wooden rowboat.

The whisky opens up with creamy notes reminiscent of liquorice ice cream, offering a sweetness that perfectly balances the briny breeze. The layers of rich, peated flavors encapsulate the essence of an autumn day on Islay, creating a truly memorable whisky journey.

The Legacy of Kildalton and Islay Whisky Making

“Kildalton” stands as a testament to the centuries-old whisky-making heritage of Islay. Known for its peated, smoky flavors, Islay whiskies are cherished worldwide for their distinct character. Our “Kildalton” 19 is a blended malt that beautifully showcases the craftsmanship and legacy of the region. By maturing this whisky in a combination of refill bourbon and sherry casks, we’ve achieved a harmony between the classic smoky profile of Islay and the nuanced sweetness imparted by these casks.

The Art and Craft of Living Souls Whisky

At Living Souls, whisky making is more than a process; it's an art. Beyond the meticulous science of distillation and maturation lies the magical creation of flavor. For the “Kildalton” 19yo, we selected refill bourbon and sherry casks that allowed the whisky to age gracefully over nearly two decades. The result is a complex, layered spirit that captures the wild yet serene character of Islay. This whisky is non-chill filtered and presented in its natural color, preserving the authenticity and purity of the experience in every bottle.

But we didn’t stop at just creating an extraordinary liquid. Each bottle is designed to reflect the rugged, coastal beauty of Islay. Our artwork evokes that peaceful yet dynamic scene – the shore, the sea breeze, the warmth of a bonfire – inviting you to indulge in the finer moments of life.

Why We Do What We Do

So, why Kildalton? This whisky is our homage to the rich heritage of Islay and its unique whisky-making traditions. We wanted to offer something that would resonate with our community of whisky explorers, providing a blend that both surprises and delights. The “Kildalton” 19yo speaks of tradition, craftsmanship, and the enchanting allure of an Islay autumn.
