Single Malt
Scotland
Port Finish
The second release of Port-cask-matured single malt from Kilchoman, with the first release hitting shelves back in 2014 (and swiftly leaving said shelves - it was a very popular expression!). This Islay single malt has been fully matured in Port casks, and bottled at 50% ABV, resulting in full-bodied flavour profile. 10,000 bottles were released.
Baklava, stewed plum, earthy peat and forest floor, raisin and orange zest.
Cinnamon and smoked paprika, with vanilla and red berries following on.
Fizzy oak and a touch of root ginger.

Scoff all you want at the age...blind taste test it against Bowmore 12 and see what you think.
This is a masterpiece, the intensity of the port maturation is just as intense as the peat. An explosion of flavours, all of them working together.
£85 for a 4 year old. Or perhaps 3 and a bit depending on the month it was distilled. Yeah right.
