- Description
- Kilchoman's Sauternes cask maturation brings an unusual fruity dimension to heavily peated Islay malt, with minimum five years in first-fill and refill French casks crafting a distinctive profile. Butterscotch and candied apricots balance the distillery's signature salty peat smoke, while the wine cask influence adds richness and length to the finish. The palate remains mouthwatering and bright despite the peat character. A returning favourite for those who appreciate fruit-forward expressions with backbone and smoke.
