Metanoia Klein Karoo Signature Single Malt

Metanoia Klein Karoo Signature Single Malt is a handcrafted South African whisky produced in the heart of the Klein Karoo, where warm days, cool nights, and a semi-arid climate encourage rapid cask interaction and flavour development. Founded by Kenny Scheepers and developed with the guidance of renowned whisky maker Andy Watts, Metanoia's philosophy centres on producing whisky that expresses both place and craftsmanship.

This signature release was launched as one of the distillery's first single malt expressions and showcases the character of a carefully matured South African whisky. The whisky is matured in American oak and finished in premium wine and sherry-influenced casks depending on the release, resulting in a rich, fruit-forward profile with impressive depth and complexity. Limited production and single-cask bottlings have made the range highly sought after among collectors and enthusiasts. 

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Ripe red berries, raspberry compote, blackcurrant, and cranberry, complemented by floral notes, vanilla bean, toasted coconut, warm baking spices, cedar, and dried fig.

Palate: Full-bodied and vibrant with a silky mouthfeel. Layers of dark cherry, plum jam, caramel, vanilla fudge, clove, nutmeg, and charred oak create a beautifully structured and complex whisky.

Finish: Long and warming, revealing berry coulis, cinnamon bark, toasted almonds, gentle spice, and lingering oak sweetness.
