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.
Pineapple chunks and white grapes. Hints of fresh coffee carry the earthy, subtly spicy peat. Toffee cubes.
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.
Quite long with coastal peat lasting.
Kilchoman Sanaig, Ardbeg Uigedal and Paul John Brilliance my favourite whiskies. Madly in love with many others but these 3 do it for me without fail
Can't wait to drink more of this, but don't want to run out of it. Will definitely be buying another one.

Ignore most negative comments!
One of the most perfectly balanced peated whiskys I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. A favourite.
