Kilchoman Sauternes Cask 2016 Release

From the pioneering Kilchoman Distillery – Islay’s first new distillery in over a century – comes this exceptional 2016 release, matured entirely in sweet Sauternes wine casks. Distilled in 2011, this whisky showcases Kilchoman’s innovative approach to wood finishing, diverging from typical industry practice with its full-term Sauternes maturation. The result is a uniquely rich and complex spirit, offering notes of honeyed fruit, apricot, and a subtle peat smoke characteristic of Islay. Bottled at 50% ABV, this expression embodies Kilchoman’s commitment to quality and a heritage potentially tracing back to Scotland’s earliest distillations.
