Summary

Kilchoman 100% Islay The 4th Edition is a single malt Scotch whisky that embodies the essence of Islay. This expression is crafted entirely on the Kilchoman farm, from barley to bottle, ensuring a unique and authentic representation of the region. With a stated age of 5 years, it offers a youthful vibrancy while maintaining a refined character that appeals to both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.

The whisky is lightly peated, providing a gentle smokiness that complements its other flavors without overwhelming the palate. This subtle peat influence is balanced by a natural sweetness derived from the malted barley, creating a harmonious and approachable profile. The spirit's light peat character makes it an excellent introduction to peated whiskies for those new to the category.

On the nose, expect delicate hints of fresh hay and gentle peat, leading to a palate that reveals notes of malted barley and a touch of citrus. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a soft, smoky aftertaste that invites another sip. Kilchoman 100% Islay The 4th Edition is a testament to the craftsmanship and tradition of Islay whisky-making, offering a delightful experience for any whisky enthusiast.
