Introducing the Kilchoman 2011 Sauternes Cask Matured, a truly exceptional Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky. Distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2016, this 5-year-old whisky is a limited edition with only 6,000 bottles produced. Kilchoman, one of the youngest and most innovative distilleries on Islay, has fully matured this expression in Sauternes wine casks, both First Fill and Re-Fill Barriques. This unique choice of maturation imparts a delightful balance of flavors, offering a symphony of buttery sweetness, BBQ pineapple, candied ginger, and floral peat smoke. The nose is an intriguing blend of fresh-fruity notes like apples, honey, and lemon, with a subtle hint of spearmint and the trademark Kilchoman ashen smoke elegantly in the background. On the palate, it starts powerfully with an oily and slightly buttery texture, complemented by sweet and spicy notes. The peat and ash waves are well-integrated, providing a complex mix of herbal and minty touches with a slight sourness. The finish is notably long and warm, dominated initially by smoke, which gradually gives way to a spicy herbal note and a tart sweetness, ending with a hint of salt and dark chocolate. This is a young but impressive whisky that demonstrates Kilchoman's balanced and integrated approach to whisky-making. With an ABV of 50%, this 700ml bottle packs a punch of flavor and depth that will captivate any whisky enthusiast.
This is the only Kilchoman expression that is 100% matured in Sauternes wine casks, offering a unique balance of sweet, fruity, and smoky flavors.
