The much-anticipated release of Kilchoman’s ‘Casado’ has arrived just in time for Christmas, offering Kilchoman’s rich, peaty whisky that was given an additional 2 years marrying in specially made Portuguese ex-red wine vats known as Casado’s.
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Opens with an intense note of a sea-side bonfire on an Islay beach, with summer fruit, plum and cherries surrounded by peat smoke.
Taste: There is pronounced pepper & spice, dry and salty with peat and lemon, with apricot compote following.
Finish: A sticky, jammy flavour builds alongside a cooked fruit character, distinctly Kilchoman to its beautifully smokey finish.
