Kilchoman – an Geamhradh 2011 Calvados Uniquely Islay Series Single Cask (70cl, 53.6%)

This is a single cask Kilchoman called an Geamhradh, from the Uniquely Islay series and the 2011 vintage. It is bottled at a cask strength of 53.6% in a 70cl bottle, from an outturn of 466 bottles. It is a Vintage Calvados Double Cask, peated to 50ppm. The Uniquely Islay series gives Kilchoman room to work with unusual cask types, and here the cask is Calvados. On the palate the Calvados finish comes through alongside fresh fruits, well-integrated peat smoke and sweetness throughout.
