The Kilchoman Casado is a limited edition whisky from the renowned Islay distillery, Kilchoman. This exceptional release, bottled in 2022, showcases a unique maturation process. The spirit was initially matured for 6 years in fresh bourbon barrels before being finished for an additional 2 years in two 6,000-liter Portuguese red wine vats. The name "Casado" translates to "marriage" in Portuguese, signifying the harmonious union of whisky with red wine. This meticulous aging process imparts the whisky with distinct aromas of burning oak, stoned fruits, candied almonds, and sea spray. On the palate, one can discern black pepper, lemon zest, peaches, apricots, and a subtle undercurrent of smoke. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of stewed plums and red berries. Bottled at 46% ABV, Kilchoman Casado is non-chill filtered, resulting in a beautifully complex spirit that balances red fruits and spices with maritime peated smoke. The 2022 release saw 12,900 bottles distilled in 2014 at the Kilchoman distillery, making it a coveted addition to any whisky collection.
