Kilchoman Casado 2022 Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

'Casado' meaning marriage in Portuguese is another in a growing line of limited-editions and quasi-experimental bottlings from Kilchoman. Matured in fresh bourbon barrels for six years before 38 casks were selected and married together for an additional two years in two 6,000 litre Portuguese red wine vats. Expect lots of winey fruits and peppery-Islay smoke in this one. Just under 13,000 bottles are on offer. 46% alc./vol. Non chill-filtered.

Notes from the producers... Aromas of intense campfire smoke, ripe plums, cherries, peaches, marzipan and sea spray fill the nose, complemented by notes of black pepper, salty peat smoke, apricot, lemon, stewed plums, apricot jam and rich smoke throughout the palate and lingering in the finish.
