Crafted to celebrate Kilchoman Distillery’s 20th anniversary, this 14-year-old release is the first in a four-part commemorative cask series. Founder Anthony Wills hand-selected five ex-bourbon barrels from 2010 (Casks 403, 422, 498, 750 & 800) to showcase the distillery’s signature Islay character with a lighter, citrus-forward approach. Bottled non-chill filtered and at natural color, this expression offers an elegant interplay between coastal peat, vanilla sweetness, and mature malt complexity.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Vanilla fudge, lemon peel, warm caramel, sea spray, and gentle peat
Palate: Toffee, lemon curd, malted biscuit, white pepper, and salted smoke
