Kilchoman – 12 Year Old – 100% Islay Casks – Feis Ile 2024

Kilchoman 12 Year Old represents a unique expression from Islay’s farm distillery, established in 2005 and the first built on the island in over a century. Crafted from barley grown and malted directly on the Kilchoman farm, this 2011 vintage matured exclusively in fresh bourbon barrels, yielding a remarkably smooth character. Notably, this release diverges from typical Islay whiskies, having been produced without peat during malting – offering a delicate, unpeated single malt. Expect a flavour profile showcasing the natural sweetness of the barley and the influence of the bourbon cask, a testament to Kilchoman’s dedication to traditional, farm-to-bottle whisky making.
