Description
Kilchoman Sauternes Cask Matured marries the Islay farm distillery’s heavy peat with the sweet influence of Sauternes dessert-wine casks — a striking contrast of smoke and honeyed fruit.
About this whisky
This limited release from Kilchoman is fully matured in Sauternes wine casks, an unusual choice that brings rich, sweet, fruity notes to balance the distillery’s powerful smoke. Typically bottled at cask or high strength, non-chill-filtered.
