COMING SOON - January 18 2017

The second edition of the Kilchoman Original Cask Strength has been matured in Quarter Casks, making it one of the most mature tasting Kilchoman's yet. But at 6 years of age, it was also one of the oldest Kilchoman's ever bottled.

From the Distillery: "95 quarter casks were vatted to produce just over 12,000 bottles of this limited edition at natural cask strength of 56.9%abv. "

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: creamy, very honeyed and floral (heather and broom); very maritime, scallops cooked in butter and a dash of honey; medicinal with creamy toasty oak; loads of citrus, mostly lemon with a touch of orange; freshly coopered oak and a touch of cedar.

Palate: creamy, very honeyed, medicinal with big smoke and juicy malt; tones more citrus, lemon, lime and orange; maple syrup, limoncello, vanilla creme brule, detol, massively salted caramel and loads of spice; leather, enormous amounts of fennel and clove; Earl Grey tea infused chocolate and more scallops cooked in butter with a dash of honey.

Finish: long, coating, honeyed and very malty; big salted caramel and loads of vanilla cream; the medicinal-smoky notes linger longest.

Comment: this is Kilchoman at the next level, very mature in brimming with character; its brash Islay DNA is intact but mellowing!
