SLYRS Single Malt Whisky Christmas Edition 2025 spent its first three years maturing in American white oak before receiving a finish in two “unique casks,” as the distillery describes them.
These are a Vin d’Orange cask from France and a plum brandy cask from a local distillery. That maturation results in the following tasting notes:
- Nose: Aromas of orange peel, dried plum, and chocolate meld with creamy toffee and gentle oak. The blend of sweetness, spice, and fruit shows a distinct signature and perfect balance.
- Palate: Delicate sweetness of candied orange and honey, joined by ripe plums and a hint of vanilla. Beneath that lie subtle wood tones and a whisper of caramel, quintessential SLYRS: balanced and inviting.
- Finish: Long, warm, and elegant. Fruit and refined oak spice fade in harmony, with a light touch of honey and orange zest lingering at the end.
Where can you buy the new Slyrs whisky?
The whisky is already available and can be ordered on the official website for €49.90. Shipping is free if you have it delivered. Note that this is a limited release with only 450 bottles available. So when it’s gone, it’s gone.

- 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
