The Kilchoman Am Burach Ruby Port Finish is a truly unique and limited-edition single malt whisky with a captivating backstory. Distilled and bottled by Kilchoman, an esteemed distillery located in the Islay region, this whisky was born out of an accidental blending of two different Kilchoman expressions in 2014. A stillman mistakenly combined Machir Bay and Port Matured Kilchoman while vatting casks. Islay Heads, the General Manager, tasted the resulting whisky and deemed it "Am Burach," Gaelic for "the mess," and the name has stuck ever since. Undergoing a complex maturation process, this whisky spent nine years evolving its exquisite character. Initially, it was a vatting of bourbon and sherry matured Kilchoman, which was then filled back into bourbon barrels for an additional six years. The finishing touch involved a six-month period in ruby port casks, imparting a rich and fruity character to the whisky. The end result is a harmonious blend of red berries, dark chocolate, and a subtle hint of smoke. Bottled at a robust 46% ABV in 2020, the Kilchoman Am Burach Ruby Port Finish showcases the artistry and craft of whisky-making, beautifully highlighting the serendipitous charm of unexpected surprises. With only 10,550 bottles available, this expression is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast seeking a one-of-a-kind flavor profile and an intriguing backstory.
