Description

Kilchoman 16 Years Whisky

After more than 16 years of patient aging, this Kilchoman whisky has developed into a wonderfully mature expression of the distillery's signature smoky and briny character. Aged in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and sherry oloroso butts, the once powerful peat has mellowed over time, allowing a more sophisticated balance of sweet and citrus notes to emerge. This whisky is a refined yet robust offering from Kilchoman's farm distillery, showcasing their unique Islay style with a depth of complexity.

Production details: Kilchoman’s 16-year-old single malt benefits from long aging in a mix of first-fill bourbon casks and sherry oloroso butts. The extended maturation allows the bold peat to mellow, making room for softer flavors of vanilla, caramel, and citrus, while maintaining Kilchoman’s distinctive maritime influence. The whisky’s character reflects both the salty sea air of Islay and the rich, sherry-infused barrels, resulting in a beautifully balanced dram.

Serving suggestions: Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate the delicate interplay between the smoky peat and the sweet sherry notes. A splash of water can help open up the whisky, revealing more of its citrus and vanilla layers. Pair with salted caramel or smoked almonds to complement its rich, smoky sweetness. This is a whisky that rewards slow sipping and contemplation.

Additional information: As a Kilchoman whisky aged for more than 16 years, this expression stands as a testament to the distillery’s dedication to traditional whisky-making. Its long maturation period has transformed the powerful peat into a more elegant and nuanced flavor profile. Perfect for those who love smoky whiskies but appreciate a refined edge.
