TBWC(distilled at Kilchoman (Batch 1))

This single malt whisky, distilled at Kilchoman and bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company, is a fine example of a peated Scotch. Kilchoman, one of the newer distilleries on Islay, has quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality, peated whiskies. This particular batch showcases the distillery's commitment to traditional methods and the unique terroir of Islay, known for its maritime climate and rich peat bogs.

On the nose, this whisky presents a robust aroma of peat smoke, intertwined with hints of seaweed and a subtle sweetness. The palate is equally compelling, offering a harmonious blend of smoky peat, earthy undertones, and a touch of citrus zest. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering smokiness that invites another sip.

For those new to peated whiskies, this bottle provides an excellent introduction. It balances the intensity of peat with a complexity that reveals more with each sip. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, it promises a memorable tasting experience that captures the essence of Islay's peated whiskies.
