Kilchoman Small Batch No.8 Release Single Malt Scotch

S'mores aromas, of marshmallows, nougat up front with smoke, seashore, vanilla and charred plums. The palate seems to echo the nose with the seashore vanilla and nougat, bringing in some figs on the finish. D&M Tasting Notes

Batch #8. 75% Bourbon, 20% port, 5% sherry casks. This Small Batch vatting combines Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry matured Kilchoman at 46% ABV with specially selected 2014 Ruby Port hogsheads, at natural cask strength. The result is a marriage of classic Kilchoman citrus and peat smoke with layers of red fruits, boiled sweets and vanilla. 47.7% abv

“The marriage of Port influence and Kilchoman’s natural citrus character is seamless, even when you add the extra dimension of Islay peat smoke, the flavours come together in complete harmony. On the nose there is a bouquet of floral, fragrant citrus sweetness. The palate is packed with waves of red fruits, vanilla, and spices with briny peat smoke and rich dried fruits on the finish.” Distillery Notes
