Original Tasting Notes:

Nose: An opening note of rich apple and pear forms the structure for this release. Herbaceous fresh fruit begins to make its way as the whisky begins to open. Subtle tones of honey and warming spice develop over time. Peat remains delicate on the nose, bringing a dryness to this release.

Palate: The texture provided by a slow distillation and the influence of the Cognac oak allows for a buttery texture which continues throughout. Dried lemon and apricot combine with cinnamon and nutmeg which are held together by an influence oftoasted oak and sweet peat smoke.

Finish:The depth of flavour that the Cognac casks have provided the Kilchoman spirit is unrivalled; dried fruits and marzipan make way to crystallised ginger, balancing sweet and spice. Lingering peat smoke is lightened with the influence of citrus oil making itself known across the palate.

Dies ist der erste offizielle limitierte Release des Kilchoman Cognac Cask. Er wurde 2016 destilliert und lagerte in 32 Barriques, die zuvor zur Reifung von Cognac verwendet wurden. Die Reifung in Ex-Cognac-Fässern verleiht dem Malt Noten von Birne, Aprikosen und einem Hauch von Gewürzen, die perfekt im Einklang mit der natürlichen Zitrussüße und dem maritimen Torfrauch von Kilchoman stehen.
