Kilchoman Single Sherry Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 60%

Score: 85 Points

This bottling is exclusive to Calgary’s Kensington Wine Market, and came from barley grown on the distillery’s farm. The first-fill sherry cask gives it a nose of toasted mincemeat pie, oak campfire smoke, a nice peatiness and a touch of honey. The taste is a great balance of peat, licorice, honey, and brown sugar with a pepperiness that builds slowly. The finish is apple pie with a toasted crust and touches of brown sugar.
