Intro:
This is a single cask bottling that is available for purchase solely at Kilchomans distillery. It is 10 years old and matured entirely in Buffalo Trace ex-bourbon casks. It is bottled without dilution, filtering or coloring.
-
Nose:
Rich, loaded with caramel. Toffee, buttered popcorn. Honey, lemon meringue. Salt, pepper, soapstone, light sawdust note. Super rich, faint brine.
-
Taste:
Rich honey, thick mouth feel. Light ethanol. Bread-y, lots of pepper, brine and rich plum. Apple, pears, intense ash and passion fruit.
-
Finish:
Long, rich and filled with caramel, honey, buttered popcorn. Nice woody ash complements and adds to the complexity.
-
Overall:
This was really great, and easily my favorite of the evening. A bummer, because it was the only one I couldn't buy, so I left empty handed.
