Kilchoman Loch Gorm 10 Year Old Scotch Whisky 2026 Edition – 10 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Cask Matured Islay Single Malt | Kilchoman Distillery, Islay, Scotland
Kilchoman Loch Gorm 10 Year Old Scotch Whisky 2026 Edition is the latest annual release of one of Kilchoman’s most celebrated and eagerly anticipated expressions — produced at Kilchoman Distillery, the pioneering farm distillery on the remote western shore of Islay, Scotland, and one of the most innovative and acclaimed single malt producers in the contemporary Scotch whisky landscape. Founded in 2005 as Islay’s first new distillery in over 124 years, Kilchoman has built a remarkable reputation for producing genuinely characterful, peat-driven Islay single malts with an adventurous and masterful approach to cask maturation.
Loch Gorm — named after the dark, peaty loch that sits at the heart of Kilchoman’s farm on Islay — is Kilchoman’s signature Oloroso sherry cask expression, released annually in limited quantities and consistently regarded as one of the finest examples of the peated malt and sherry cask combination in the Scotch whisky world. The 2026 Edition marks a significant milestone with a full 10 Year Old age statement — the oldest Loch Gorm release to date — delivering a depth and complexity that reflects a decade of patient maturation in the finest Oloroso sherry casks, producing a single malt of exceptional richness, balance, and collectible quality.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich, complex, and deeply inviting with Islay peat smoke, dark dried fruit, Oloroso sherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, toasted oak, and a warm, nutty sweetness — an extraordinarily layered aromatic profile that reflects 10 years of Oloroso sherry cask maturation on Kilchoman’s characterful peated malt.
Palate: Full-bodied, rich, and beautifully structured with peated malt, dark fruit, Oloroso sherry, dark chocolate, dried figs, vanilla, and a warming oak complexity that builds and evolves with remarkable depth and elegance — a single malt of genuine greatness where a decade of sherry cask maturation has produced an extraordinary integration of peat and fruit.
Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and deeply satisfying with lingering peat smoke, dark fruit, sherry, chocolate, and a persistent oak warmth — the hallmark of a truly exceptional, age-stated Oloroso sherry cask Islay single malt of the highest quality.
