A single vintage release from Islay's Kilchoman Distillery, featuring whisky distilled back in 2010. The casks chosen for this expression were 42 bourbon barrels and 3 sherry butts - continuing the theme set by the previous bottling in this series from Kilchoman. After 9 years of maturation, the smoky single malt was bottled at 48% ABV, with 15,000 bottles released.
Creamy and sweet with milky coffee, toasted crumpets with butter and lemon meringue pie.
Earthier notes of peat and dried oak appear on the palate, though still featuring plenty of vanilla. A few flashes of Christmas spice too.
Baked apple, cola cubes, spicy smoke and cherry.
Absolutely horrible. Like taking a bite out of rotten wood. AVOID.
