When German whisky meets a fruity moonshine
The base of this drink is St. Kilian's single malt whisky, which is then enriched with blueberry aroma and a hint of vanilla. The result is a moonshine product with a slightly fruity flavor.
The drink contains 30% alcohol and comes in a 0.5 liter pot-still bottle, complete with the recognizable O'Donnell label.
O'Donnell Moonshine is well-known for its creative approach and the use of traditional methods. This summery concoction came to life through their collaboration with St. Kilian.
The German distillery is quite pleased with it:
'This collaborative product combines the authentic character of a true single malt whisky with the vibrant freshness of blueberries - perfect for anyone seeking new taste experiences and wishing to enjoy quality with style.'
The spirit is made from 100% barley malt and double-distilled. The influence of the ex-bourbon cask blends perfectly with the blueberry profile.
How does the drink taste?
The tasting notes are also known and they are as follows:
- Nose: Fresh blueberries, delicate apple tones, sweet vanilla, and creamy toffee lending a sunny lightness.
- Palate: Crispy blueberries, full-bodied vanilla, and soft toffee bring a lively sweetness to the palate.
- Finish: Soft caramel, subtle sweetness, fruity blueberry, and gentle oak notes all culminate in a harmonious finale.

- Hi Yvonne, Thank you for your response and for sharing the video. Unfortunately, the evidence you referred to consists only of two people talking about the whisky, without any explanation or identification. We have not spoken to the individuals in the video ourselves, nor can we verify who they are. We describe it as a Chinese whisky because it is released by a Chinese distillery. As you mentioned, the distillery has chosen to label the product as “pure malt” instead of “Chinese whisky.” Based on that, we do not believe they are doing anything illegal.M0nkey16-11-2025

- Let's keep this factually correct. Pernod Ricard DID NOT release a Chinese whisky. Their first output from The Chuan (the name of the distillery in Sichuan, China) wasn't fit for bottling. What they actually bottled was imported Scotch whisky. This is why the product is called "PURE MALT" and not "Chinese Whisky" - because Pure Malt is not a regulated term - this is not a secret. This was exposed about a week after they released it. There were even videos about their own staff on site admitting it was made from imported whisky - which Pernod Ricard got the lawyers onto to get the video pulled. I've got a copy if you want it.Yvonne09-10-2025
