Kilchoman Batch Strength 2024 Edition, 57%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2024 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
This recipe uses Kilchoman matured in bourbon barrels, oloroso butts, and re-charred red wine casks, and combines the fruit and smoke really well. Red apple, red currant, black raspberry, heather honey, and salted caramel on the nose, with beach bonfire smoke turning peaty as it builds in intensity. Silky texture on the palate, with red apple, smoked plum, raisin, cherry pie, and a long-lasting finish with peppery spices running riot.
