Kilchoman 2008 Single Bourbon Cask #453

Kilchoman is a small, independent distillery located on the west coast of Islay, Scotland. Founded in 2005, it is one of the youngest distilleries on the island but has quickly established a reputation for producing high-quality single malt whiskies. Kilchoman's whiskies are known for their rich, peaty flavours and complex aromas, resulting from the distillery's use of traditional production methods and locally sourced barley. As the name suggests, this whisky was distilled in 2008 and matured in a single bourbon cask, which gives it a unique flavour profile. Once opened the scent of caramel, vanilla, peat and smoke was noted, the palate is vanilla, citrus, smoke, honey and pepper with a long finish of smoke, honey and oak. A smooth Islay whisky.
