- Description
- Kilchoman's 2012 vintage was aged eight years before finishing in an ex-Tequila cask and bottling at cask strength exclusively for The Whisky Exchange in November 2021. The tequila wood adds an unexpected layer of vanilla and dried fruit to Kilchoman's briny, peated character. A bold experimental release for adventurous Islay enthusiasts curious about unconventional cask finishes.
