A proud moment for all at the Kilchoman distillery as they release their oldest global bottling to date. A combination of 21 casks have been maturing for over 16 years, predominantly ex-bourbon barrels with a hint of ex-oloroso sherry, creating a perfectly balanced single malt. Kilchoman Founder, Anthony Wills, and Production Manager, Robin Bignal, have kept a close eye on these early casks, waiting for the right moment to vat them together and form this momentous Kilchoman 16-Year-Old.

Tasting Notes

Nose:  Pronounced vanilla, butterscotch and caramel with soft integrated peat smoke and coastal aromas. Delightfully rich with a creamy citrus sweetness and layers of cooked apples, pears, plums, and nutmeg.

Palate:  A wonderful full mouthfeel with the characteristics of vanilla notes from the bourbon casks and spice from the sherry casks combining to produce a balance and real depth of
flavours. A mastery of festive spices, fresh vanilla, tropical fruit, and smouldering peat smoke.

Finish: Dried mango and apricots with barbecue smoke and lasting mouth-coating honey sweetness. Soft, rounded, and full of flavour.
