- Description
- Kilchoman's 8 Year Old 2012, matured in four first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads, is an unpeated release that reveals the Islay distillery's spirit character without its signature smoke. Rich, meaty sherry integration provides layers of dried fruit, walnut, and warming spice while allowing briny, coastal minerality to emerge beneath. Limited to 1,311 bottles and bottled at natural strength, this dram shows the complexity possible when peat's absence allows cask character to dominate. Essential for Islay devotees seeking alternative expressions beyond the distillery's peated canon.
