Kilchoman Vintage 2012 56,6% vol. – Fresh Oloroso Cask
Taste: The Oloroso Hogshead, produced from Kilchoman 100% Islay unpeated malt, has a full bodied spicy, rich character with only hints of salti- ness on the back of the palate
“We only filled a handful of casks with unpeated 100% Islay spirit over the past 15 years and it was always going to be fascinating how they deve- loped differently from the usually peated malt. Although faint notes of peated spirit from the previous spirit runs can be found in the whisky, it is overridden on the palate with strong spice, bold fruits and coastal flavours”
Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder
Kilchoman Vintage 2013 56,3% vol. – Fresh Bourbon barrel – Finish in a PX Hogshead (9 Monate)
