This bottling of a Kilchoman was specially produced to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the distillery. The whisky was distilled between 2005 and 2012, matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and was bottled at cask strength in 2015 as a limited edition of 3000 bottles.
Nase: Gar nicht so kräftig wie ich es erwartet habe. Zuerst rieche ich etwas Verbandszeug und Jod, dahinter kalte Asche und Holzbackofen. Es folgen frisch gebackenes Krustenbrot, etwas Kümmel, Vanillepudding und ganz entfernt rieche ich das Meer.
Gaumen: Ziemlich pfefferig und scharf. Bunter Pfeffer, frisch geschälter Ingwer, dazu einiges an Rauch und der Anklang von milden Zitrusfrüchten, verbranntes Karamell und irgendwie auch gegrillter Spargel.
Abgang: Mittellang und leider klar alkoholisch, hier kommt das Verbandszeug wieder, Desinfektionsmittel und Pfeffer.
Kilchoman was founded in 2005 and is the westernmost distillery in Islay and the only distillery on Islay that is not located directly by the sea. Its name comes from an old church whose ruins lie on picturesque Machir Bay. Kilchoman is one of the few distilleries that still malt parts of their malt themselves.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
