35 THE NAVIGATOR | EXPRESSION KILCHOMAN PX SHERRY CASK 2023 Release Islay, Single Malt, 50%, 750ml Fully matured in Pedro Ximenez Sherry Casks Matured for a minimum of five years in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks previously used by Bodega Joséy Miguel Martin, Jerez, Spain. The 2023 PX sherry cask matured release is Kilchoman’s first limited edition to be fully matured in PX casks. Some might consider five years to be a short maturation, but these PX hogsheads give such a rich and sweet character, the distillery feeling that shorter maturation is the only option to maintain a good balance of flavour. Heavily Peated at 50 PPM this is a 61-cask vatting that yielded 23,000 bottles at a generous 50% ABV. Nose: Sweet sultanas and raisins with rounded peat smoke and layers of liquorice and hints of citrus sweetness. Palate: Brown sugar and malty sweetness then orange peel, citrus, dark chocolate, and waves of sherry sweetness. Finish: Chocolate coated raisins, oak smoke, mixed spices and lasting PX sweetness.
