Kilchoman 100% Islay 13th Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Distilled from barley grown on the Kilchoman farm in 2012, 2013 and 2014, this the 13th edition was matured for a minimum of eight years before 44 bourbon barrels were selected for the release. Says Anthony Wills, Kilchoman's Founder, “The 13th Edition is the first release since 2019 where I have opted for solely bourbon barrels... I selected predominantly fresh casks, this gives the whisky lovely layers of buttery vanilla and caramel flavours which pair beautifully with the citrus sweetness of our spirit.” 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill-filtered.

Other reviews... Selected from barrels using malts from Islay’s 2012–2014 harvest, the nose bursts with honey, lemon mousse, and barley, with gentle smoke woven through, and later notes of cinnamon, butterscotch, malt, and caramel. The initial sip is juicy, with honey, chocolate, malt, cherry, and smoke, adding Cadbury fruit and nut bars, butterscotch, creamed banana, and barbecued meats, with a finish of hot smoke, sooty embers, and dark chocolate. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com
