| Review #370 |
This is
bottled in 2011 and comes from fresh and refill Bourbon barrels and finished in
Sherry casks. The peat is intense! Warm feeling with hay and grass in the
smell. Hints of dried fruits as well, with some light orange peel.
The heavy
peat makes it feel stronger than the 46 %. The taste is powerful, peaty with a
touch of different vegetation and slightly fruity. The flavours is strong in
the finish as well, but lingers out in a soft sweetness. Caramel and syrup. I wouldn’t
put this on a pancake though! Or would I?
This is
classic Kilchoman. Heavy peated farm whisky and everything you expect (and
like) about a young Islay whisky. It is not very complex but I have tried many
older Islay whiskies with far less complexity than this. I will give this 86/100
(21/22/22/21).
