TASTING NOTES KILCHOMAN 100% ISLAY

Nose

hints of peat are perceptible, followed by marine notes, malt and intense aromas of bonfires on the beach. For the last hints of vanilla, just hinted at.

Palate

the peat is in the foreground, accompanied by intense marine notes, which recall the scent of the rocks. Everything is enriched by the aroma of bonfires on the beach, which is also confirmed on the palate. Lastly, a spicy vein of black pepper emerges.

The final

medium persistence. Peat is reconfirmed, flanked by citrus fruits that refresh the aromatic bouquet.

Kilchoman 100% Islay 9th Edition is a direct and straight malt. It embodies the personality of Islay whiskeys and is therefore a bottling close to peat lovers. The aromatic bouquet is intense, although not particularly broad.
