Anknüpfend an den Erfolg der ersten Ausgabe des Kilchoman Fino Sherry Matured in 2020, wurde die Reise diesjährig fortgesetzt. Für den 2023er Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured wurden insgesamt 20 Fino Sherry Butts von der Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin handverlesen. Mit einer Kombination von 20 Sherry Butts und einer Reifezeit von mindestens fünf Jahren, entwickelt der Malt eine trockene Salzigkeit, mit einem Einfluss von grünen, frischen Früchten und dem typisch lang-anhaltenden, zarten Islay-Torfrauch.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Elegant, dry peat smoke on the initial nosing, gradually opens to the unmistakable fruity character of Kilchoman. The distinct influence from the Fino Sherry casks provides dry, smoked oak which balances with the smoke found in the heavily peated Kilchoman malt. A lasting aroma of sweet butterscotch as the whisky begins to open.
Palate: Honeycomb sweetness can be found immediately on the palate, gradually giving way to rich toffee and caramel. The Kilchoman spirit brings together candied fruits and the fresh citrus found in the distillation. Flaked almonds and a delicate peat smoke remain throughout.
Finish: Long-lasting considered finish combining the malty spirit of Kilchoman, with the ripened citrus fruit profile provided by the Fino Sherry casks. A subtle peat smoke which has coated the palate right through now shares the finish with hints of dark chocolate.
