Kilchoman 100% Islay

EYE
Honey golden

NOSE
Salt, minerality, peat, orchard fruit, candy sweetness, vanilla and butterscotch. It??s like a subtle sweetness hitting against a smoky mineral wall.

PALATE
Salty, minerality, peat, orchard fruit, toffee, spice, camphor and a light bit of vanilla taffy and butterscotch.

FINISH
Long spicy fade of peat, minerality and a touch of fruit.

BALANCE, BODY & FEEL
Good balance, medium body and a warm spicy feel that turns dry.

The distillery quote below goes into a bit more in depth, but what??s really cool about releases like the Kilchoman 100% Islay 2017 isn??t just that it??s Islay barley, but that at its core it??s a different whisky. All materials and the entire process is done on Islay and it??s peated at a lower level to give a different experience than what you get in their other releases.
