- Description
- This 2024 release from Kilchoman abandons the distillery's customary mixed-cask approach, resting exclusively in ruby port hogsheads to create a richer, sweeter peated character than its regular bottlings. The port cask influence rounds the typical Kilchoman peat with deep stone fruit and spice layers. A singular expression exploring how fortified wine casks can soften rather than overshadow peat. Best appreciated by those seeking an unconventional take on Islay whisky.
