Aged for 3 years in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels, this is a wonderful expression from Kilchoman. This is made 100% on Islay, using nothing but local ingredients
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Offers smouldering seaweed, lemons and coconut husks (an indication of very active casks). This develops quickly into hard-boiled rhubarb and custard sweets, linseed oil, window putty, fennel, coriander, hobnobs and huge vanilla.
Slight greenness to the front, which is masked by the peat smoke, vanilla, and biscuit notes. On the back of the tongue it peaks with notes of butterscotch.
Sweet smoke and oily spices, tapering off nicely into sweet oak and vanilla.
Very rounded, and far more complex than you’d expect from a whisky of this age…
