Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2024 Edition Sherry Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

While it's common for distilleries to source sherry casks from a variety of producers, Kilchoman believes sourcing them all from just one bodega is vital to the quality of this release. They ship a combination of x-oloroso sherry butts and hogsheads from Jose Miguel Martin to provide two separate styles of maturation. The 2024 Loch Gorm is composed of 17 fresh and 6 refill casks from three different distillation years. These casks impart a combination of heavy sherry notes, spicy dark chocolate, rich fruits and burnt sugar that balances beautifully with Kilchoman's peat smoke and citrus fruits. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill-filtered.

Other reviews... Waves of smoky marmalade balance with aromas of black cherry, milk chocolate, and sanded oak: The smoke shows a satisfying peaty edge. The sherry cask has loaded this with dried fruit characteristics of sultana, cherry, and citrus peel, matched with chocolate, singed oak, and peat smoke. A big hit of cinnamon follows, rounding out with sugared nuts, cappuccino, blackberry, peppery peat smoke, and citrus peel to finish. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com
