Kilchoman Loch Gruinart Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Kilchoman launched Loch Gruinart in 2020 as an exclusive for a French supermarket. The whisky has subsequently appeared across the UK. We've managed to secure a small volume. Bottled at 46%, it's young, fresh and vibrant but still riddled with Kilchoman's typical ashy peatiness. European and American oak matured. Non-chill filtered.

Other reviews... A more affordable Kilchoman, this is a blend of 4-6 year old peated single malts aged in a mix of bourbon and European oak sherry casks. Muted maritime salinity, well-integrated peat smoke, hot bacon fat, dark chocolate, orange, and fresh-squeezed lemon on the nose. The peat recedes a bit on the palate, making room for lemon meringue pie, blueberry, and pepper spice. Nicely textured and viscous, with the finish tailing off a bit. 90 points - whiskyadvocate.com
