Kilchoman 'Sauternes Cask Matured' Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Kilchoman 'Sauternes Cask Matured' Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted on the windswept Isle of Islay, where the distillery, established in 2005, has revived the island's tradition of small-batch Scotch. Its coastal location near Machir Bay lends the whisky a distinctive, subtle saltiness that speaks to the sea-sprayed landscape, and Kilchoman is renowned for its dedication to handcrafted, peated malts in the style of a classic “farm distillery.”
Aged in first and second-fill Sauternes casks, this limited-edition Scotch has matured for at least five years under the watchful eye of Kilchoman’s founder, Anthony Wills. The aging process introduces a rich, creamy nose of ripe fruits and slight salinity, balanced by buttery and floral notes. As the flavors unfold, the palate experiences layers of butter caramel, tropical fruits, and a delicate interplay of floral accents with a distinct thread of peat smoke that remains steady throughout.
The finish is marked by a harmonious blend of sweetness and smoke, creating a lasting, smooth mouthfeel that echoes the complex profile of Kilchoman’s peated style. Best savored neat or with a few drops of water to open up the flavors, the 'Sauternes Cask Matured' is a remarkable expression of Kilchoman’s commitment to quality and the unique terroir of Islay.
