An intriguing bottling here from Kilchoman, which has been matured fully in Fino sherry casks! The casks for this expression were used previously by Bodega Miguel Martin in Spain, including 11 fresh sherry butts and just the one refill butt. Combining the savoury notes of peaty whisky with the salinity of Fino, this ought to be great for someone looking to try something a little bit different.
Tasting Notes
NOSE
Toasted nuts, peat smoke and a hint of sea salt, while sweeter notes of honey and banana bring some balance.
PALATE
Dark chocolate, another touch of flaky sea salt, a burst of fresh citrus and some earthy, vegetal peat.
FINISH
Green olive, salted butter and smoke.
