Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Tasting notes by Jack Hanlon (SDL)
Nose
This whisky greets you with a storm of sea spray and the classic peated vapour rub scent of Kilchoman. On a second sniff, there are subtle vanilla undertones and a warming scent of malted milk biscuits dunked into a fresh, smoky cup of lapsang souchong.
Palate
A beginning of cinnamon spice, clean-cut chilli and eucalyptus honey leads seamlessly to citrusy grassy notes and vanilla apple crumble.
Finish
Long anise spice and white pepper linger on the tongue helped by the rich oily texture.
Comment
Just like the balancing of salted caramel, Kilchoman has found a well-tamed marriage of sweet bourbon-cask vanilla with Islay's fresh sea-spray saltiness.
Tasting notes by Billy Abbott (TWE)
Nose
Sweet vanilla, oatcakes and barley sugar float on top of a sea of medicinal peat – Vicks Vaporub, TCP, freshly unwrapped bandages, sea spray, damp rocks and seaweed. Hints of spicy speculaas biscuits, candied lemon peel and gravelly smoke build as the whisky sits in the glass. Water brings out big green notes – damp autumn leaves and stacks of freshly cut grass – as well as more TCP.
Palate
Spicy, with green chilli and cinnamon leading the way to a rich and peaty centre of liquorice, honey and lemon Lockets, green eucalyptus and rich earthiness. As the spice calms on the palate, Granny Smith and Cox's apple give a sweet-and-sour character with a background of barrel char and burning leaves. It swims well, with a good slug of water holding back the initial spice and revealing more barley-sugar sweetness. The spice doesn't stay tamed for long, rolling back in with more leafy smoke and rich, smouldering peat.
Finish
Long and spicy, with a cinnamon-and-white-pepper tingling followed by damp leaves, aniseed, menthol and lingering Dutch liquorice – sweet with a touch of saltiness.
Comment
Age has started to mellow this dram, but not too much. It's distinctly Kilchoman, with cask-strength power but some of the smoke rolled back to reveal more medicinal peaty notes. A tasty milestone.

Another treat from Kilchoman. Having tasted this whisky from the early days of new make until now, their continued refinement in special releases is exceptional. The lingering notes of peat and smoke that are with every Kilchoman release are present with a nice mellowing from the wood finish. A long finish with some spicy notes completes a very pleasing dram.
