This limited release from Kilchoman is a whopper. 61 Ex-PX barrels were aged for 5 (or more) years, before being vatted together and bottled at 50%. This release also shares the new standard PPM for Kilchoman, being 50ppm.
We cannot stress this any harder. This spirit is rich, full bodied and oily in that classic Kilchoman way, with the cask driven flavours perfectly padded by that savoury Kilchoman spirit.
Incredible.

Founded in 2005, Kilchoman was the first new distillery to be built on Islay in over 124 years. Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder, set out to resurrect the grass roots tradition of farm distilling. Since then, they have become a well renowned distillery.
