Review #226 |
This is a
mixture of bourbon and sherry casks from vintages between 2005-2012 and then
bottled in 2015. 3000 bottles were made. Sweet vanilla, peat, dirt and
lemongrass on the nose. Some burned oak or charcoal as well. Almost with some
bonfire or BBQ in the end.
The taste
is on fire. A lot of flavors due to the high ABV, different types of casks used
and the heavy peat. The sweetness really comes forward in the finish but is
nicely accompanied with some fruity flavors. Actually there is some dried fruit
flavors in the background all the way from the first sip hits your tongue to
the end of the finish.
A classic
Kilchoman but with a touch extra. It can only be bought at the distillery and
actually, there is whisky in the mix from cask 01/2005, the first cask ever
filled at Kilchoman. This is not bad. Not bad at all! The best Kilchoman I have
tried yet from this relatively new distillery. I will rate this 89/100 (21/22/23/23).
