The Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured Edition 2023 is a limited release from the renowned Islay-based distillery, distilled in 2016 and meticulously matured for a minimum of 6 years in 32 hand-selected Cognac casks sourced from Tonellerie Bossuet in France. This special edition is one of only 15,100 bottles, presented at a robust 50% ABV and proudly free from chill filtration.
Maturation in ex-Cognac casks has imparted a rich tapestry of flavors, including notes of pear, apricots, and mixed spices, which harmonize beautifully with Kilchoman's natural citrus sweetness and signature maritime peat smoke. On the nose, you'll find an inviting blend of apple, pear, sweet honey, warming spices, and a delicate touch of peat. The palate reveals the Cognac influence with flavors of lemon peel, apricot, cinnamon, nutmeg, and toasted oak. Kilchoman's characteristic peaty, maritime core shines through well into the finish, accompanied by nuances of dried fruit, marzipan, and citrus.
This release is particularly notable for Kilchoman, as it marks the first time the distillery has used barley smoked to 50PPM, resulting in a delightful flavor profile that pairs the sweet notes from the Cognac cask with the lingering peat smoke Kilchoman is celebrated for. This whisky is a unique and exceptional addition to the Kilchoman range, showcasing the distillery's unwavering commitment to innovation and quality.
