Kilchoman 2006 Private Cask #349 For Douglas Fox

Kilchoman, Islay’s newest distillery – and the first built on the island in over a century – draws upon a rich history, with evidence suggesting Islay may be the birthplace of Scottish distillation as early as the 1300s. This 2006 vintage, matured for over a decade in a single bourbon cask (#349), exemplifies Kilchoman’s commitment to quality and innovative wood policy. Bottled in 2017 at 46% ABV, it offers a taste of Islay’s character, shaped by on-site floor malting, distillation, and maturation. Expect a whisky reflecting the coastal terroir, with notes typical of bourbon cask influence and the distinctive peat smoke for which Islay is renowned.
