- Description
- Kilchoman's 2007 vintage matured for eight years in a single oloroso sherry butt, bottled for Fèis Ìle 2016 with 634 bottles released—young and visceral. Islay's signature maritime, medicinal peat smoke combines with oloroso's dried fruit and nutty spice, creating a youthful, muscular spirit that doesn't yet show the refinement of older ages. Cask strength amplifies both the spirit's raw power and the wood's influence, delivering a fiery, unpolished experience. Ideal for peat enthusiasts and Islay devotees who appreciate rough edges and intensity over smoothness.
