Kilchoman 100% Islay, 13th Edition 2023

The 100% Islay 13th Edition from Kilchoman distillery was matured in 44 bourbon barrels for a minimum of 8 years.

Once harvested, the barley was hand malted on the Kilchoman malt floor, and gently turned twice daily by the maltmen as it germinated.

The green malt was then smoked using peat cut from the Cnoc Dubh peat banks, the thick peat smoke permeating each barley grain, creating the distinct smoky Kilchoman character, landing around 20PPM.

Once distilled in Kilchoman's unique pot stills, the new make spirit was filled into casks and stowed in dunnage warehouses  at the distillery.

expect:

Nose: Malt loaf, toffee apple, banana bread, citrus, lavender, pear drops, sea salt and hints of peat smoke.

Palate: Fresh vanilla and fragrant peat smoke with caramel, barley blossom, sultanas and hints of spicy oak tannins.

Finish: Silky viscosity with fresh crumpets, butter and honey.
