Scotch Single Malt A-Z

This new expression from Kilchoman has seen their spirit fully matured in ex-Cognac casks from Tonellerie Bossuet (France). These casks impart a herbaceous, sweet and spicy character that balances against the robust peat smoke character of the whisky. The palate carries a toasted oakyness, with lush fruit laced with crystalised ginger warmth. A tang of citrus oil lifts through the smoke and sweet wood in the finish.

This is only the second time ex-Fino sherry casks have featured for Kilchoman, bringing about a crisp minerality and salt, offering contrast to the rich peaty tones of the distillery. The aroma of butterscotch sweetness and peated barley can be found to start, bringing a mouth-coating feeling that soon gives way to a nutty, meaty and salty combination - think of maple-syrup and salted, peat-smoked meats on a charcuterie board.

Kilchoman's much-anticipated annual release of Loch Gorm has arrived, bringing their famously sherry-cask matured smoky treat back to our shelves. Bottled from just 22 ex-Oloroso sherry casks, we are greeted with the aroma of cacao and smoky, leathery notes that surround tangy black cherries. The palate, moving between sweet roasted dark fruits, chocolate and hazelnuts, carries an ashy peat smoke flavour. The lasting impression is of peaty embers on a salty, Islay sea-breeze.

Using the original vatting recipe for Machir Bay, this limited edition release is bottled at the natural strength of the selection. The classic Kilchoman profile is at full volume - the citrus and tropical fruit notes are bigger and fuller, and the peat smoke is concentrated and rich. The citric quality on the palate is joined by a smoky chocolatey tone (milk chocolate, cocoa powder) and a viscous and oily texture. A modern classic from Islay.

Fresh peat smoke mingles with a soft cooked stone fruit sweetness, with layers of smoke. On the palate there is a surge of tangy peat smoke and a vanilla pudding sweetness that leads to a sea-side, peppery smoke. The barley, oak and peat come together in harmony on the finish which is long and peaty. Consistently one of the best whiskies to come from Islay, made by the Wills family at Rockside farm.

This bundle includes two Glencairn Whisky Glasses, the most widely used speciality whisky glass in the world.

Sanaig is predominantly bottled from Ex-Oloroso Sherry Hogshead casks, and this influence is most obvious in its rich colour and flavour. The aroma is classic Kilchoman, with soft cooked fruits, full-bodied peat smoke with citrus notes and a lingering sweetness. A perfect balance of peat smoke and fruity sweetness, somewhere between Machir Bay and Loch Gorm.

A brand-new limited edition release from Kilchoman sees a small combination of casks married together, resulting in what the distillery are calling their "Small Batch".  This batch, comprised of 20% ex-STR wine casks, 75% ex-bourbon and 5% ex-sherry produces an aroma that is initially classic Kilchoman, citrus-sweetness with warming peat smoke and rich, fruit-forward notes. A toasted oak flavour comes through with maritime peat and an abundance of spice and smoke.
