May 2025 - Kythrea 2023 Edition

Unlocking the Essence of Cyprus Terroir

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Cyprus’s natural bounty with our Kythrea Single Malt Ex Bourbon Cask, a testament to the island’s abundant sunshine and volcanic soil. Sourced exclusively from local ingredients, the grains, botanicals, and fruit that form the heart of this exquisite whisky encapsulate the unique character and intense aroma of our picturesque island.

Introducing the first-ever Single Malt Cyprus Whisky, born from our signature six-row barley, aptly named “Kythrea.” Malted, mashed-in, fermented, distilled, and aged in ex-bourbon American oak casks at our distillery in Tseri, Nicosia, this whisky boasts a deep amber-ruby hue, a rich aromatic nose, and a tantalizingly smooth, fruity, sweet, and zesty character.

Unfiltered and undeniably unique a harmonious blend of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, toffee, and butterscotch. The ex-bourbon casks impart hidden spice undertones that reveal themselves in a crescendo towards the end, creating a sensory symphony that captivates the palate. The meticulous combination of local six-row barley “Kythrea” and wheat varieties results in a rich, full-bodied grain whiskey—an exclusive creation that’s malted, fermented, distilled, and aged entirely in Cyprus.
