Kilchoman 2008 Vintage Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 7 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a hint of mahogany.

Nose

Intense peat smoke and coastal brine rise first, brightened by lemon zest and vanilla. Subtle dried fruit and cocoa trails in the background, with a whisper of warm oak and spice from the sherry cask.

Palate

Boldly peaty, Kilchoman coats the palate with smoky coastal notes and briny hints. Sherry-derived sweetness deepens dark fruit: figs and raisins, while vanilla and cocoa add richness. A whisper of citrus zest and almond spice brightens the mid-palate, finishing with long smoke, salted oak, and a warm, lingering sweetness.

Finish

Long, peat-kissed finish with a gentle sherry sweetness. Roasted fig, dark chocolate and almond cling to the palate as the smoke tapers into coastal salt and spice, leaving a warming ember-dusted aftertaste that lingers.
