Kilchoman Batch Strength 57%

Special features: The Kilchoman Batch Strength 57% is a powerful release from the Kilchoman Distillery, which is issued in limited quantities each year. This single malt whisky is bottled at cask strength, giving it an impressive intensity. The maturation takes place in a unique combination of re-charred red wine casks, Oloroso sherry casks, and bourbon casks, which impart a complex array of flavors to the whisky. After maturation, the whisky is adjusted with a few drops of spring water to an alcohol content of 57% to preserve the natural strength and depth of the Kilchoman character.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A bouquet of red fruits, fresh cherries, heather flowers, and intense peat smoke.
• Palate: A rich composition of toffee, bold spices, vanilla, and lingering peat smoke aroma.
• Finish: A silky viscosity reminiscent of fresh crumpets with butter and honey.

Distillery/Bottler: The Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005, is one of the youngest distilleries on the Scottish island of Islay. It is characterized by its traditional production methods, where all steps from barley cultivation to malting, distillation, and bottling are carried out on the island itself. This approach is reflected in the quality and authenticity of their whiskies.
