Kilchoman 2012 Single Cask #265 Founders Cask Release

Kilchoman 2012, from Single Cask #265, represents a pioneering spirit – distilled at Islay’s first new distillery in over a century, established in 2005. This Founders Cask release showcases Kilchoman’s commitment to quality maturation, achieved through carefully selected casks, in this instance finished in red wine wood. Bottled in 2020 after eight years, it offers a robust 56.4% ABV experience, hinting at the island’s historic connection to early Scottish distillation practices dating back to the 1300s. Expect a full-bodied whisky reflecting both Islay’s peat influence and the rich fruit notes imparted by the red wine cask finish.
