Islay, SCOTLAND
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen
ABV: 46%

Beginning production in December 2005, this miniscule operation (one of Scotland’s smallest) is the first distillery to be built on Islay for over 120 years.  Released in 2011, this bottling was the first 5 year old release from Kilchoman, matured in a combination of fresh and refill Bourbon barrels.

Other Reviews...It often takes time for a new distillery to find its feet, but Kilchoman’s spirit was top quality from the first day. Its limited-edition releases act as markers on a work in progress, but are precociously advanced for their tender years. This, the first 5 year old, leads with a note like wet rushes/wet dog (that’s good!) alongside lightly turfy smoke. The palate is sweet, smoked, and thick with allspice on the finish. A star is born.  Dave Broom (Spring 2012) - www.whiskyadvocate.com
