Kilchoman 20th Anniversary Cask Series

Kilchoman is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the distillery’s founding with a series of events and special bottlings. The centrepiece is the 20th Anniversary Cask Series. Our allocations have just landed. Consisting of two Oloroso sherry and two Bourbon maturations, there are two 14 year olds, one 15 year old and an 18 year old - the oldest Kilchoman to date. The ex-bourbon releases are defined by salty peat smoke and bright citrus sweetness. In contrast, the darker-hued ex-sherry releases offer a richer profile, with notes of dried fruits, BBQ smoke, and mixed spices. Each release consists of five casks, so twenty casks in total that Anthony Wills considered to epitomise Kilchoman's flavour profile, typified by a 50ppm phenol spec.
