KILCHOMAN 12 ans 100% Islay Still Peat Bourbon Barrel Single Cask New Vibrations

Nose : Refined, deep. On the first nose, notes of dried grass (cut hay, lucerne) quickly make way for strong spices (black pepper, clove) and candied citrus fruit (lemon). Allowed to breathe, Kilchoman’s naturally iodine and mineral nature takes centre stage (seaweed, chalk).

Appearance : Or pâle.

Palate : Clean, precise. The radiant attack is at once peaty, vanilla, herbal and salty. With impressive charm, the particularly deep and smooth mid-palate develops more oily and chocolatey registers.

Overall : Long, well-balanced. White flowers (jasmine, lily of the valley) and green tea flavours initially bring a very pleasant sensation of freshness to the flavour palette. In the after-taste, grains of malted barley, almond milk and a delicate liquorice softly envelop the taste buds.
