Batch Strength from Islay's Kilchoman is bottled at a hearty 57% ABV. The peated single malt is matured in a combo of re-charred red wine casks, oloroso sherry butts, and bourbon barrels, imparting rich notes of caramel and spiced dark fruit to the zesty, smoky malt at its core.
Red fruits, fresh cherries, heather blossom, and intense peat smoke
Toffee, rich spices, vanilla, and lasting peat smoke
Silky viscosity with fresh crumpets, butter, and honey

Not for a beginner but a fantastic pokey dram. Stinky stinky peaty whisky just the way an islay should be.
A very smooth drop for the ABV. More in the Bunnahabhain wheelhouse than Laphroaig, with a dash of Talisker slipped in to boot. Faint peatyness but little smoke. More like a lowland after a ciggy outside. Honeyed nose, with just a hint of acidic phenols. More honey and grassiness in the mouth; like hay tastes to a horse. Tropical fruit aftertaste. Watering it brings out the phenols interestingly, and the honey morphs into toffee.
