Kilchoman 100% Islay 12th Edition 2022

Worth knowing

The current edition of the limited vintage bottlings easily maintains the top level of its predecessors - and is thus a very hot tip for fans of intense, full-bodied Islay single malts! You can taste the minimum 9-year maturation in bourbon and sherry casks.

Flavours

With all the power and depth of flavour that the 50% behemoth naturally possesses, it nevertheless reveals itself to be strikingly delicate and fragrant on the nose, with honey sweetness and floral notes. On the palate, the bewitching impression continues seamlessly. Aromas of ripe and dried fruits - plums, apricots, dried dates - dominate at first, but are visibly complemented by more tart facets. Leathery astringency is just as noticeable as the piquant "zing" of oriental spices. The initial fruitiness remains in the finish, but the flavour becomes more and more complex - toasty, "umami" and with the typical peat accents, but also fine acidity, the grenade ends.
