Kilchoman Distillery sits nestled amongst the traditional buildings of Rockside Farm on the renowned whisky-making island of Islay's Farm Distillery,our barley fields stretch west to the shores of Machir Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.Kilchoman is unique in many ways,most notably for our 100% Islay range,Islay's only Single Farm Single Malt.
Established in 2005,Kilchoman is true to islay's rich farm distilling heritage,using locally cut peat,slowly distilling by hand,maturing on islay and bottling on site without colouring or chill-filtration.
Created from the same recipe of casks as our regular Sanaig release,Sanaig Cask Strength was matured predominantly in olorosso sherrycasks.However,instead of adding water once the casks have bben selected and vatted,this limited edition Sanaig Cask Strength has been bottled at its natural cask strength of 57.8% alc./vol.The result is an intense combination of rich peat smoke,cinnamon sweetness,and stoned fruits with waves of citrus,mixed spices,and dark chocolate.
Nose : Dark stewed fruits and berries join rich smoked wood and sweet,sticky toffee
Palate : Generous layers of toffee and chocolate,with cakey spice,sultanas,liquorice and hearty peat smoke
