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.
Another fantastic dram from the chaps at Kilchoman. Smokey, Peaty, Sweet and extremely well balanced.
I have tried other Kilchoman and thought they was ok.. Not earth shattering as some people suggest and tired this the other day and still can't see why people rave about them.. Yes I'm sure they will be good with a few more years under there belt but still too young a whisky for me.. They are competing with too many big names on islay to produce mid range whisky
