Kilchoman 2008 Founders Single Cask #642 1st Release for Pol Rogers Portfolio

Kilchoman 2008, from the first release of this pioneering Islay distillery, represents a return to the island’s historic roots in whisky production – a region potentially home to Scotland’s earliest distillations dating back to the 1300s. Matured for nearly a decade in a single sherry cask (#642), this single malt embodies Kilchoman’s commitment to quality, achieved through a meticulous process encompassing floor malting, distilling, and maturation all on Islay soil. Bottled at a robust 54.4% ABV, it delivers a rich and complex flavour profile, hinting at dried fruits and spice imparted by the sherry wood. This expression, bottle #38 of only 643, offers a taste of Islay’s modern revival, built upon centuries of tradition.
