The HSE 2013 Kilchoman Whisky Cask Finish 44% 500ml is a unique and limited-release rum distilled in 2013 and aged for 7 years, with only 4100 bottles available worldwide. This exceptional rum is a harmonious fusion of HSE rum from Distillerie du Simon in Martinique and Kilchoman Single Malt whisky from the Islay region.
The rum undergoes column still distillation and tropical aging, followed by a 4-month finish in Kilchoman Single Malt whisky barrels. This process creates a complex bouquet of smoky, peaty, fruity, woody, and dried fruit aromas. The production process involves steam-heated distillation at Distillerie du Simon, which has been in operation since 1934.
On the palate, the rum offers a delightful symphony of woody, peaty, smoky, spice, and whisky flavors. The initial attack is marked by peat and cereals from the whisky, followed by a malty smokiness that complements the rich, fruity, and full-bodied rum. With aeration, the rum reveals an exquisite balance between fresh agricultural rum and vegetal peat, with a richly spiced profile that includes licorice, anise, and resin.
The HSE Kilchoman Single Cask Finish rum is traditionally aged for 6 years in the tropics, followed by a 4-month finish in whisky barrels, acquiring a distinctively iodine and peaty character. This rare and captivating rum is a must-try for both rum and whisky connoisseurs, offering a one-of-a-kind experience that embodies the best of both worlds.
The rum is 7 years old, distilled in 2013, and bottled in 2020.
