Kilchoman Sanaig

Winner of Master Single Malt: Islay – No Age Statement at the Scotch Whisky Masters in 2024 and 2022! A no-age-statement Kilchoman that has been matured in both ex-Bourbon and Sherry barrels. The latter adding richness and aparent maturity giving this whisky a mouthfeel normally only found in much older whiskies. Kilchoman's neighbours on the island of Islay could learn a few things from this expression. The heavily peated style of the distillery works in perfect harmony with the dried fruit and spice flavours from the sherry casks, something that can be hard to get right. In this case the smoke shines right through to the end but the journey getting there is very enjoyable. Highly recommended!
