  • Kilchoman KWM Single Bourbon Cask - High-test Islay - Thanks Willie

    Very light in colour, light yellow and soft around the edges. Nose is hot (surprise! 61.9% hot), with a medicinal finish. First taste is the fire-y bite moving into the iodine and salt air.

    The familiar banana bread nose of Kilchoman with a little leather and saddle soap. Soft and sweet flavour with some spicy oak to finish. Young, but a good starting point.

    This is Islay's first farm distillery. Which means that they grow their own barley instead of buying it. The distiller is very very new and, hence, the expressions on offer are almost foetal in age. This… read more
