Kilchoman Port Cask Matured

General Information

Kilchoman Port Cask Matured is a unique expression of Kilchoman, a well-known craft distillery on Islay, famous for its peated single malt whisky. This special variant matures entirely in port casks, which is rare for Scottish whisky and results in an interesting layer of sweetness and complexity on top of the traditional smoky notes. The use of port casks ensures a deep integration of fruity tones and spices with Kilchoman’s classic peat smoke.

The flavor is a lively combination of the sweetness of red fruit, accompanied by the characteristic Islay smokiness and a gentle spiciness that gradually transitions into a long-lasting, complex finish.

Fun Fact
