KYTHREA Single Malt Cyprus Whiskey- Barley

The abundant sunshine and the rich volcanic soil are the secret combination behind the unique character and intense aroma of the grains, botanicals, and fruit grown on the island of Cyprus. We work exclusively with local sources to produce unique spirits that reflect the beautiful nature of our island, from the field to this bottle.

Aristides Distilling is proud to be at the forefront of the Cyprus Whisky movement with our “Kythrea” whisky series brand. Continuing on this path, we present the first Single Malt Cyprus Whisky, born from our very own six-row barley variety, “Kythrea”. Malted, mashed-in, fermented, distilled, and aged in ex-bourbon American oak casks at our distillery in Tseri, Nicosia, this unique whisky has a deep colour with ruby tones, a rich-aromatic nose, and a smooth, fruity, sweet, zesty character, making this first of its kind Single Malt Whisky, a must-try!

This unfiltered Single Malt Whisky presents a balance of toasted oak and hints of vanilla, caramel, toffee, and butterscotch flavours blended with hidden spice undertones that reveal themselves towards the end. Aging in ex-bourbon casks and the well-balanced combination of local six-row barley “Kythrea” and wheat varieties make a unique recipe that offers a rich, full-bodied grain whiskey, the only one that is malted, fermented, distilled, and aged in Cyprus!

 

Alcohol  50.6% ABV | Deep Amber-Ruby

Dimensions: Heads: 2.5 | Hearts: 3 | Tails: 2

Nose: Inviting aromas of toasted oak, with hints of vanilla, toffee, and buttery citrus zest.

Taste: Full-bodied, orange fruit with pepper notes and dried raisins.

Finish:  Long, hearty with a wonderful and rare dark chocolate finish!

 

The Aristides Distilling Journey

The story of Aristides Distilling begins not in Cyprus, but in the rolling hills of the Ozark Mountains in southern Missouri. Around 2008, co-founder Aris Aristidou joined forces with Jim Blansit to establish the first craft distillery in the Ozarks since Prohibition. Their passion and dedication quickly earned recognition, landing them **three prestigious spirit awards** from the American Distilling Institute. In 2013, Aris and Jim were joined by co-founder Marianna Ktoridou Aristidou, who helped expand the distillery’s success, distributing an impressive range of whiskeys and rums across the state.  

In 2016, Aris and Marianna returned to Cyprus, ready to bring their expertise home and embark on an exciting new chapter. After two years of meticulous research, planning, and overcoming challenges, Aristides Distilling came to life in early 2019, officially beginning operations on January 1, 2020.  

Aristides Distilling is more than just a distillery—it represents a new era in craft spirit production. With a focus on innovative, precise distilling techniques and rigorous quality controls, Aristides Distilling minimizes guesswork and maximizes excellence. This commitment to precision and quality is what defines their philosophy: “The New Age of Craft Distilling.”  

Drawing inspiration and raw ingredients from the rich landscape of Cyprus, Aristides Distilling is dedicated to crafting high-quality, small-batch spirits that reflect the island’s unique character. This commitment requires a blend of **hard work, creativity, expertise, and meticulous attention to detail—qualities that shine through in every bottle.  

At Aristides Distilling, passion is poured into every step of the process, resulting in exceptional spirits that capture the heart and soul of Cyprus.
