Kilchoman Batch Strength Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

DISTRIBUTOR NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The latest addition to Kilchoman’s core range of Islay single malts is matured in a combination of re-charred red wine casks, Oloroso Sherry butts and Bourbon barrels. Expertly blended, a few drops of water were added post maturation to produce a Batch Strength of 57% ABV.”

TASTING:  “The result is a colossal dram combining the natural peat smoke and citrus character of Kilchoman with dark fruits, rich spices and salted caramel sweetness…a powerful, weighty dram that balances raw intensity with delicate finesse.”

REVIEWS: "Combines the fruit and smoke really well. Red apple, red currant, black raspberry, heather honey, and salted caramel on the nose, with beach bonfire smoke turning peaty as it builds in intensity. Silky texture on the palate, with red apple, smoked plum, raisin, cherry pie, and a long-lasting finish with peppery spices running riot." - 91 PTS, WHISKY ADVOCATE (01/2024)

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: “Kilchoman Distillery was founded in 2005, the first distillery to be built on Islay for over 120 years. Kilchoman displays all that is great about the grass-roots traditions of Scotch whisky distilling: in addition to being one of the few distilleries to still practice floor malting, barley is also grown on this family-run farm for limited expressions, making Kilchoman a true farm distillery and the only Islay distillery to employ all parts of the whisky-making process on site.”
