Kilchoman – Sanaig (70cl, 46%)

Kilchoman Sanaig is an Islay single malt bottled at 46%, in a 20cl bottle. It is named after an inlet on the island's Atlantic coast. Peated barley is floor-malted on site, fermented for 90 hours and double distilled in small copper stills. The whisky is a vatting of malt matured in bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts, and it pairs the distillery's citrus-tinged peat smoke with dried fruits and warm spices. The nose is heather and orange peel. The palate brings spiced orchard fruits, toffee and dark chocolate under waves of peat smoke, and the finish is long, with cinnamon and clove.
