KILCHOMAN Fino Sherry Cask Matured

Founded in 2005, Kilchoman is the first distillery to be built on the island of Islay in over a century. Cradled by the sea spray of Machir Bay beach, the first single malt was born in September 2009. Built on the model of a 19th century "farmhouse distillery", Kilchoman makes a point of handcrafting a peated malt with fine saline accents.
The Fino Sherry Matured Edition was aged for a minimum of five years in 20 Fino sherry casks previously used by Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin. Maturation in these ex-Fino casks has given the whisky mineral, woody (oak) and maple syrup notes that blend well with the natural sweetness of Kilchoman's citrus and maritime peat smoke.

Round and peaty. Honey, candied fruits, ash.
