Volume: 700ml ABV: 50% Age: 8 Years Old Country: Scotland
As one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries Kilchoman can claim that they perform every stage of the production process on-site. Taking water from the nearby Allt Gleann Osamail burn (stream) they produce approximately 120,000 litres of spirit a year. The spirit is then placed inside ex-Bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky, and first fill Oloroso Sherry hogsheads and butts from Miguel Martin, Jerez, Spain. They often use wine seasoned barrels and rum seasoned barrels in smaller batch releases. When Kilchoman was constructed it was the first new distillery on Islay in over 120 years. Not only a milestone for Islay but for the Scotch Malt Whisky Industry.
This Kilchoman is matured in fresh ex-Bourbon barrels for just over 6 ½ years followed by a finish in fresh ex-Sauternes Hogsheads for 1 ½ years. Bottled at 56.3% alc/vol.
