Kilchoman Loch Gorm 1st Edition is a single malt whisky that showcases the distillery's dedication to traditional methods and rich, peated flavors. This expression is named after the famously dark and peaty loch near the distillery, reflecting the deep and smoky character of the whisky. It is matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks, which impart a luxurious depth and complexity to the spirit, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate robust and peaty whiskies.
On the nose, this whisky offers a harmonious blend of rich sherry notes and intense peat smoke. The sherry casks contribute layers of dried fruits and dark chocolate, while the peat smoke adds a distinctive earthy and maritime quality. This combination creates a captivating aroma that invites you to explore further.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and oily texture that carries flavors of rich prunes, smoked wood, and a hint of dark chocolate. The peat smoke is prominent but well-balanced, allowing the sherry influence to shine through. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of smoky sweetness and a touch of oak spices. This whisky is a true testament to Kilchoman's craftsmanship and the unique terroir of Islay.
