Kilchoman Sanaig Bottling Note
A handsome release from Islay's newest distillery, Kilchoman Sanaig is an enjoyably peaty single malt which has been vatted from both bourbon and Sherry casks. It's named after a small, rocky creek rather near the distillery on the west coast of the island. Look out for plenty of fruit and earthy peat coming through on this one, with a touch of dark chocolate-covered raisins.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Pineapple chunks and white grapes. Hints of fresh coffee carry the earthy, subtly spicy peat. Toffee cubes.
Palate: More light fruits (this time of the peach variety), with dark chocolate raisins and a whisper of red berries. Peat grows and grows, with a little black pepper too.
Finish: Quite long with coastal peat lasting.

Kilchoman Sanaig Reviews
Going Keep an eye on these ones once the age statements come out what a great whisky
Well my first try of Kilchoman whisky what a delight, bourbon and sherry cask. that lovely Islay rich smoke with vanilla and citrus sweetness and toffee with a sweet peat smoke lasting and adding a bit of spice at the end. Great dram

Young and nuanced peat
A young and full crowd, full of nuances ranging from sweet to salty. This Islay takes you for a ride. A great experience.

Deep and full of flavour
This was upsold to me by my local whisky merchant based on my love of Caol Ila and I decided to take a chance on it. Deliciously sweet peat straight off, tiny bit of spice and really nice long finish. And what a colour! Did not expect such a good taste from such a young spirit.
I've not had a bad Kilchoman yet and will be keeping a close eye on them.

Impressed.
Just received my bottle from Master of Malt , what can I say , for a no age statement the colour is remarkable , I guess the sherry cask maturation Is quite long and the bourbon cask pretty short but taste wise it's very good ,dark fruits ,slight citrus ,chocolate ,smoke, decent finish , great stuff.

Quality!
You can really taste the elements of this fantastic whisky. A full, rich, spicy, peaty mouthful. It’s assertive and demands your attention. It’s getting better and better the further down the bottle I’m drinking. The quality of the ingredients and care put into making this spirit shine through. Excellent.

Pleasant enough but in a competitive sector of the market
Peaty notes take time to emerge, but earthy in nature.
Initial hot is from the Olorosso sherry cask with the American White Oak hidden for a while, but vanilla starts to emerge. The colour betrays the dominant assertive nature of the Quercus Robur cask, with the high porosity initially overwhelming all else. Usual sultanas raisins dried apricots, apples, pineapple, banana, dried orange and lemon peel. Currants and figs also. American Oak difficult to identify sometimes.
Can't say this is well balanced but it is pleasant and very sweet. Salty taste initially accompanied by spices. Medium to full bodied mouthfeel. Certainly mouth coating.
Finish is very nice, sweet yet peaty and earthy.

OMFG!
Opens with delicious rich, raisiny, coffee/chocolatey notes, warm and spicy in the palate with a superb peppery sweetness building with dark chocolate pudding flavours and finishes long with spice, pepper and creamy, smokey oak vanilla. Quite fantastical!
