Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / Islay
The Kilchoman distillery, which was opened in 2005 at the Rockside Farm, presents this year two 8-year-old bottlings. They are both made from barley grown on site and peated to a similar degree (20 ppm) but fermented separately to explore the influence this stage has on the single malt’s organoleptic profile. This first version was distilled after a 75-hour fermentation. Particularly elegant, it showcases a peat with a pronounced empyreumatic and medicinal character that supports an expressive and distinguished palette of flavours and aromas.
