It's the seventh release in Kilchoman's excellent 100% Islay series. These whiskies are produced completely on Islay, with barley grown, harvested, malted, distilled and matured at the distillery! The barley is also slightly less peated than the barley which goes into their other releases. For the seventh release, they've used whisky distilled in 2010 and matured in a combination of fresh and refill ex-Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels until 2017.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Banana fritters with floral notes developing underneath. Toasted sugar and a hint of malty chocolate.
Palate Honey'd and sweet at first, though notes of smoked barley blossoms soon after. A kick of cooking spice on the mid-palate.
Finish Drying cacao joined by salted butter melting on crumpets.
