Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 50%
The 2023 edition of Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured makes a welcome arrival - this is only the second release of this Kilchoman after its debut back in 2020.
For this Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured 2023 Edition, a total of 20 fino sherry casks from the esteemed Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin sherry producer were used, with the youngest cask being five years old and the total assemblage coming out around 15000 bottles.
Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured is bottled at a robust 50% without colouring or chill filtration and is a delightfully dry dram, with Kilchoman's ashy phenols the perfect complement for the fino sherry's razor-sharp lemony nuttiness.

Tasting Notes
Official 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.

The value is there for sure and it is definitely worth a buy, but there is a slight punch to it, bordering ever so slightly on that sulphuric taste you sometimes get with sherry butts. Not as rounded or soft as I'd have expected for a 13 yr old. Still great though.
Linkwood 17 Year Old Signatory Vintage Exceptional Cask 100 Proof Edition
Beautiful colour. Fruitcake and chocolate on the nose. I could sniff it for hours. The palate is rich full and well rounded with no sulphur or off notes. With a treacly mouth feel (beautiful legs!) and a long silky finish this is one to cherish. Incredible value at £70!
An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
