“This is a pretty awesome scotch. Smoky nose, and great smoke flavor. Tastes clear and smoky. Just a little bit of burn on the finish. I think this will be even better when it has had 10 or 12 years to age. I was a little disappointed with the Kilchoman Machir Bay, so I was pleasantly surprised to find I really liked this. Not as rich or complex as Ardbeg Oogie or Lagavulin 16, but I might like this more.”

Kilchoman 2008 Vintage (bottled 2015)

A very special Kilchoman release - their first ever 7 year old! Distilled in July 2008, it was matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels up until August 2015 when this limited vintage vatting was bottled at 46% abv.

This bottle was part of a private collection and will show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

We're in familiar territory here, golden barley, integrated peat, toffees and lemon peel.

Palate

Sweet vanilla and cocoa butter with wisps of smoke give way to greater fruitiness than has perhaps often been seen from Kilchoman, blueberries and apricot pieces.

Finish

Creamy and fruity, with soft peat too, naturally.

Overall

Perhaps an indication of what's to come from this relatively young Islay distillery, which already has a large and well-deserved following.
