KilchomanLoch Gorm

Kilchoman Loch Gorm (2019 Release) is a single malt whisky from the renowned Kilchoman distillery on Islay, Scotland. This expression is named after the famously peaty Loch Gorm, reflecting the distillery's commitment to producing rich, peated whiskies. The 2019 release is matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks, which impart a deep, complex character to the spirit.

On the nose, this whisky offers a harmonious blend of rich sherry notes, intertwined with the signature Islay peat smoke. The sherry influence brings forward aromas of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a hint of sweet spices, while the peat smoke adds a layer of earthy complexity. This combination creates an inviting and intriguing olfactory experience.

The palate is equally captivating, with a robust and full-bodied profile. The initial sweetness from the sherry casks is balanced by the smoky, peaty undertones, leading to flavors of raisins, dark chocolate, and a touch of oak spices. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of sherry sweetness and gentle peat smoke, making it a well-rounded and satisfying dram.
