History,
This is a proud moment for all at the distillery as we release our oldest global bottling to date. A combination of 21 casks have been maturing for over 16 years, predominantly ex-bourbon barrels with a hint of ex-oloroso sherry, creating a perfectly balanced single malt.
With a marriage of both ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, this release showcases how the recognised Kilchoman flavours and character has developed over the last 16 years of maturation.
Anthony and Robin have spent the last few years keeping a close eye on these early casks, waiting for the right moment to vat them together and form this momentous Kilchoman 16 Years Old.
“This is a landmark release for the distillery, the oldest global bottling we have done to date at 16 years of age. I look forward to Kilchoman fans around the world tasting this outstanding whisky and experience the evolving character of our single malt,” Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Delightfully rich with a creamy citrus sweetness and layers of cooked apples, pears, plums and nutmeg
Palate: A masterful balance of festive spices, fresh vanilla, tropical fruit and smoldering peat smoke
Finish: Dried mango and apricots with bbq smoke and lasting mouth-coating honey sweetness
