Kilchoman 100% Islay 13th Edition, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Selected from barrels using malts from Islay’s 2012–2014 harvest, the nose bursts with honey, lemon mousse, and barley, with gentle smoke woven through, and later notes of cinnamon, butterscotch, malt, and caramel. The initial sip is juicy, with honey, chocolate, malt, cherry, and smoke, adding Cadbury fruit and nut bars, butterscotch, creamed banana, and barbecued meats, with a finish of hot smoke, sooty embers, and dark chocolate. (1,170 bottles for the U.S.)
