Aristides Distilling Kythrea Single Malt Cyprus Whisky 70cl

About Aristides Distilling Kythrea Single Malt Cyprus Whisky

Kythrea is a Cyprus produced single-malt whiskey made entirely at the distillery, using locally grown grains and maturing in American oak barrels. Produced by Kythrea Distillers in Tseri, Nicosia, using their traditional recipe, this top quality beverage consists of malted, fermented, distilled and matured into American Oak ex-Bourbon casks.

By controlling every aspect of production, including ageing, and bottling, you are ensuring the consistency of flavour from one bottle to another. Kythrea will make an ideal first-date gift, as it offers a straightforward story with no over-hype.

Before you choose how to serve it, here is a quick guide:

Best use case

Neat

Full aroma, richest texture

Slow sipping, gifting

With a little water

If you want the best result, use a clean whiskey glass that narrows slightly at the top so the aroma stays focused.

Tasting Notes & Aroma Profile

Kythrea is a unique mix of deep amber and ruby tones with a rich aromatic nose and smooth characteristics that are fruity, sweet, and tangy. Many brands include toasted wood and familiar dessert flavors like vanilla, caramel, toffee, and butterscotch, but most tend to indicate spice and dried fruit later on in the tasting profile.

In the mouth, Kythrea usually feels rounded rather than sharp. When used alone, it has a strong oak presence, a soft sweetness, and an enjoyable warmth. This is why many customers consider Kythrea "neat first," as they can decide later if they would like to mix it.
