Other reviews... The first thing I wrote was, “classic Kilchoman.” Then I paused…because it’s true. Though still young, here’s a distillery that has established its own character. In this expression you get full integration between oak and distillery, a sparkling mix of seashell and the freshness of seaweed, touched with churned butter, driftwood, and fresh-kilned peat. On the tongue, there’s samphire, peat, sweet barley, and an herbal kick. This is Kilchoman coming of age, assured and confident.

...Kilchoman distillery on Islay has released its oldest whisky to date, namely a 2007 vintage expression, of which 10,000 bottles are available. Maturation has taken place in ex-Bourbon barrels. Anthony Wills, managing director of Kilchoman, says that “This is an exciting development and sees us enter a long-awaited period in our history. Although we’re a relatively young distillery our vintage six-year-old shows a level of maturity normally associated with much older whisky. We predict that this will sell quickly, and hope Kilchoman followers share in our excitement in the development of our malt.” Very sweet peat on the initial nose, then brine and kippers. Freshly-stubbed cigarettes, warm, gingery leather and vanilla. Full-bodied on the palate, nutty, with citrus fruits, black pepper and spicy peat. Long and fruity in the finish, with plain chocolate and lingering spice.
