Kilchoman 100% Islay 8th Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl, 50% ABV
The 100% Islay spirit pairs seamlessly with ex-bourbon barrels. The lower peating level (20ppm) allows the natural floral sweetness of the spirit to shine through whilst a higher age profile adds layers of overripe tropical fruit and stewed plums whilst the high ABV makes it no lightweight. I’m delighted with how the 9th Edition has come together and as ever, I look forward to hearing people’s opinions” Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder and Master Distiller Distilled from the 2007 and 2009 barley crops, the 8th edition is a vatting of 43 ex-bourbon barrels matured for over 9 years in their on-site dunnage warehouses.The 8th Edition marks a return to the bourbon barrel maturation of previous 100% Islay releases. Last year’s 8th edition contained roughly 50% sherry maturation however Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder and Master Distiller, has decided to return to his trusted American oak casks for this year’s release. Kilchoman Distillery is a small family run farm distillery based on the rugged west coast of Islay.
