The 100% Islay Sherry Cask Matured was distilled from Kilchoman’s 2011, 2012 and 2013 barley harvests and matured for a minimum of 11 years in 16 ex-oloroso sherry butts. During maturation, layers of dried fruits and rich spices have infused into the whisky which balance beautifully with the natural citrus sweetness and peat smoke of Kilchoman.

The 100% Islay editions celebrate barley grown on site but once it’s harvested, the Kilchoman team also malt the barley using traditional floor malting techniques, first germinating and then smoking the barley, using local Islay peat, to give the whisky its 20 PPM lightly peated character.
