Kilchoman100% Islay

The 5th Edition

Kilchoman 100% Islay 5th Edition is a single malt Scotch whisky that embodies the essence of Islay's rich whisky-making tradition. This expression is crafted entirely on the island, from barley to bottle, ensuring a unique and authentic Islay experience. The whisky is aged for 5 years, which allows it to develop a balanced character while retaining a youthful vibrancy. The lightly peated profile offers a gentle introduction to the world of peated whiskies, making it accessible for both novices and seasoned enthusiasts alike.

The production process of this whisky is meticulous, with barley grown on Kilchoman's own farm, malted on-site, and distilled in traditional copper pot stills. The spirit is then matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, which impart a subtle complexity to the final product. The result is a whisky that captures the maritime influences of Islay, with a touch of peat smoke that enhances rather than overwhelms the palate.

On the nose, this whisky presents a delicate balance of light smoke and fresh, fruity notes. The palate is smooth and slightly sweet, with hints of vanilla and oak from the cask aging process. The finish is clean and lingering, with a gentle peatiness that leaves a lasting impression. Kilchoman 100% Islay 5th Edition is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the Kilchoman distillery, offering a true taste of Islay in every sip.
