The Kilchoman 100% Islay Whisky Limited Edition 2023 is a highly sought-after single malt Scotch whisky from Scotland that pays tribute to its Islay heritage with its strong character. The whisky is produced according to the "from barley to bottle" philosophy, meaning that every step of the production process, from raw material to bottling, takes place on-site with great attention to detail. The whisky is made from locally grown barley, with the malted grain dried over a peat fire, resulting in a phenol content of 20 ppm.
The 13th edition of this limited whisky was released in 2023 and is limited to 13,000 bottles, making it a rare and valuable find. The aroma of the golden whisky is sweet and fruity, with notes of candied apple, banana bread, malt, pear, and citrus fruits, complemented by a hint of sea salt and peat smoke. The taste is full-bodied and complex, with flavors of caramel, malted barley, raisins, oak, and spices, all underlined by a smoky undertone. The finish is long and smooth, with hints of honey and baked goods.
The whisky is made from the barley harvests of 2012, 2013, and 2014 and was matured for a minimum of 8 years in 44 bourbon barrels. This 13th edition of Kilchoman's 100% Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a prime example of the revival of traditional farm distilling, with the barley grown, malted, distilled, matured, and bottled on-site. This lightly peated single malt Scotch whisky is a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs.
