Kilchoman 100% Islay 2nd edition displays the best in the grass-roots traditions of malt whisky distilling – from barley to bottle.
All parts of the production process for the 100% Islay have taken place at the distillery – from barley to bottle. The barley is grown, malted, distilled, matured and bottled at Kilchoman making for a unique character. Bottled at 50% abv and peated to a lower level to that of other releases, 100% Islay has a lighter, fresher feel to it. Citrus and lemon notes come through with soft peat smoke and a long smooth finish.
Other reviews… the praline and coffee liqueur mix making for one of the best three year olds ever bottled in Scotland. 93 points – Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2014
